There are a few places on the AIO board that you could connect to.
Pause on the right side isn't used and RST, RX, TX in the LCD header on the upper left.
Arduino IDE for uploading / editing OpenDTG code. Also, installs drivers so you can use the OpenDTG desktop app.
After installation you need to add libraries if you plan on uploading the OpenDTG code to an Arduino or AIO conroller:
Tribal Armor has been kind enough to share his files for the platen lift system here: http://opendtg.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=824&sid=b09328e937359caedda61521d9ccd1d0
30 tooth pulley for stepper motors.
Solid so you can drive whatever sized bore you need.

Here are the files that UHIM donated from the AIO challenge. I haven't had the time to mess with it so I'm uploading and hoping members here can test and collaborate on it.
This will allow using photoshop and the gutenprint plugin as RIP software for printing light and dark garments on a Windows PC

Might be a little harder to learn than EK but it is the only option for Free RIP Software
I HAVE NOT TESTED THESE. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
This .dxf CAD file has all of the plates used in building the OpenDTG basic base kit and platen.
Requires metal bending to use as is.
The center rail for this design is the 1000mm C-Beam from OpenBuildspartstore.com
We use aluminum but plastic or wood may work.
This free program allows you to see error codes, do ink charges, head cleans and reset waste counters.
The only thing they charge for is the waste counter resets.
This tool is a must have for running a DIY DTG printer.
This code is for creating an automatic pretreat machine like the OpenDTG Mongoose.
Moves a motor and turns a solenoid on / off based on speed and length 10k potentiometers.
This code is a full version intended for use with our V2 AIO and shield boards. Can also be used with a standard Arduino Uno.
Code has settings for the Epson 1430 model
Requirements:
encoder and bounce2 library in Arduino IDE
5v to 3v step down on the PE and ASF signals to protect the Epson
30 tooth pulley needed
This code is a full version intended for use with our V2 AIO and shield boards. Can also be used with a standard Arduino Uno.
Settings are for the Epson P600
Requirements:
encoder and bounce2 library in Arduino IDE
5v to 3v step down on the PE and ASF signals to protect the Epson
30 tooth pulley
This is a light / core version of our full OpenDTG code that is available to paid members.
Fully functional but does not have the following features of the paid version:
Support for physical buttons, it uses the desktop app only
No automatic 2 pass
No code to allow full removal of the ASF assembly
Requirements:
OpenDTG Desktop App needed to control platen
Encoder and bounce2 libraries installed in Arduino IDE
5v to 3v step down of PE signal to protect the Epson mainboard.
ASF assembly must be left intact.
30 Tooth Pulley for the belt drive
