Version 1.5.3 of the electronics

Warning: this is for version 1.5.3 of the Ultimaker PCB. If you have a later version of this board, this guide does NOT apply.

This is a board that's very similar to other Pololu-based electronics implementations, including RAMPS, but it can support up to 5 steppers (three for X, Y, Z, one for an extruder and one for any other function). You can add as many steppers as you need. It is designed to run at higher voltages than 12 Volts, This allows you to put 90 Watts out of one MOSFET and run your stepper motors with more torque and higher maximum speeds.

Specifications:

  • Arduino Mega Shield
  • Compatible with Pololu A4983 stepper drivers
  • Controls up to 5 stepper motors.
  • 3x 5Amp MOSFETs outputs (with LED indicators)
  • All pins are broken out for maximum extensibility
  • Runs from 15V to 19V.
  • Three thermocouple inputs, or thermistor inputs. Designed for 100K thermistor, this one is recommended.
  • Has a IDC header for adding an LCD panel (movie here)
  • Has a header for adding an SD card module.
  • Has a screw terminal for adding a nice LED array.
