QuoteRooskii cant seem to upload the new marlin firmware to the board. It's well possible there's simply no bootloader on the chip, so you need a programming device to upload anything: [reprap.org]

Hello everyone, after one year of ideas, projects and work, we present our contribution to the community, the "Alligator Board". The project Alligator is a project born in the more complex 3DArtists...

The Alligator board sounds very much like the Duet electronics (which has been available for more than a year), but with the DRV8825 stepper drivers instead of the A4982, and an extra fan output. The...

A year too late, and missing firmware support for the ethernet port and other stuff out of the gate. Since at least two other boards already have these same features and are mature, open-source...

Hello, Thanks for your opinions. The Alligator is distinguished by the quality, due to power filters and other peripherals is very robust to interference and don't stops printing. With the piggy you...

It still sounds just like the Duet to me, except you have software control of microstepping (does anybody need that?) and a higher-current heated bed connector. The Duet also has a 4 layer pcb,...

I do not think that the question is if it is equal to or less than the Duet, everything is similar to something .... We give our solution and we do not want to win over anyone, everyone offers his...

Is not quite correct, for example if you use a delta machine, a classic 8-bit can not make the change of coordinates in real time and although if you print forms with high mesh 8 bits fails. So I...

I have done some preliminary design work for a low-cost 32-bit 3D printer controller board. The idea is to make a board that would cost less than Arduino Mega/RAMPS clones to build in quantity, but...
View ArticleRe: Low cost 32-bit controller board
Dave I think you could be on to a winner with this idea especially if you can get the price break to be similar to that of a Mega + Ramps combo and that seems to be around the £25-30 mark (suspect...
