That and cost are the reasons for Sanguish.

I actually like SMD much more. IMHO, hand soldering SMD resistor/cap is more enjoyable than the through hole version - IC might need more practice. With stencil and solder paste, handling SMD is...

Do yourself a favor and get a DRV8825 based chip. They work just like A4988's but offer more current. [www.pololu.com] or [www.panucatt.com]

you do not necessarily need to run your motor up to 2.5 amp for them to work with your printer yours are the same as mine when i get them and the wiki say 19.4 ozf-in for your axis, 56.64 ozf-in for...

The default mosfet of RAMPS BOM mightnot work well for 3.3v but as said planning for using an external one already... The SD extension board designed for RAMPS might not work because of the voltage...

Had a quick peek at those L6470 drivers, and I just have to say wow! Seriously, those are some sexy drivers. And they do look perfect for a Pi based system. The programmable acceleration and single...

Re: Easy and simple DIY L297/298 based stepper driver
Sure, its pretty straight forward. However, the L298 is also limited to 2 amps. If you want to drive a larger stepper motor, you will need a H Bridge with a higher current rating, or according to the...

But to coordinate all axes, and make sure they accelerate the same fashion and such...is complicated. I think it's easier to be done in the software, at least it has been done.

If you want microstepping, more sophisticated decay control, but with big motor - there are chips like LS8292 that offers such advanced feature, yet designed to be used with external MOSFET or L298.

Guys, seriously don't bother with the Pi, It's I/O is laughable. If you want something to replace the Arduino and be the computer at the same time look at a lot of the Pi's competitors. BeagleBone...
