Which electronics is best for the E6D kraken As the title said, which is the best electronics for the four head kraken head? I was planning to use the duet plus expansion board, but it seems to have problems with temp stability readings from the expansion board.

Waiting for reprap board is probably not a good idea, because they focus on two noodles only.

The RepRapPro Duet shield files are at [github.com]. The schematic shows that it supports 2 additional extruders and hot ends, making 3 in all. So still one short for a Kraken.]]> dc42 Controllers Sun, 04 Jan 2015 10:10:46 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450685#msg-450685 Re: Which electronics is best for the E6D kraken https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450685#msg-450685 Waiting for reprap board is probably not a good idea, because they focus on two noodles only.]]> Fpex Controllers Sun, 04 Jan 2015 04:23:20 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450625#msg-450625 Re: Which electronics is best for the E6D kraken https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450625#msg-450625

The on,y mod I saw on the duex4 is for one extra extruder to fix the noisy ground on it.
I will check the radds.

I am not familiar with the RADDS. The noise problems on the DueX4 don't actually stop you from printing. The main effect is to cause the apparent temperature to fluctuate, in particular when the hot end is at room temperature and the readings are most affected by noise. There are a few potential remedies:

1. If only one extra extruder is used, swap the bed temperature and second hot end thermistor connections. The bed thermistor is less sensitive to noise because of its lower value and lower temperature range.

2. Change the thermistor series resistors from 1K to 4.7K. This will reduce the impact of the noise, especially at room temperature. In time, DueX4 boards are likely to have 4.7K as standard, just as recent Duet boards do.

3. Move the smoothing capacitor(s) for the channels needed from the DueX4 to the Duet, as explained in my blog entry on dual-nozzle conversion for the Ormerod.

Another solution will be to use the Duet daughter board that RepRapPro is manufacturing and should soon have available. This design avoids the noise problems of the X4.]]> dc42 Controllers Sat, 03 Jan 2015 20:14:49 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450578#msg-450578 Re: Which electronics is best for the E6D kraken https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450578#msg-450578 I will check the radds.]]> Fpex Controllers Sat, 03 Jan 2015 17:57:06 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450565#msg-450565 Re: Which electronics is best for the E6D kraken https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?13,450551,450565#msg-450565

RADDS board with radds ext board on a DUE is about your only option if you want 32 bit controller or I believe there are mods to the Duex4 to overcome the temp stability issues

If 8 bit is ok then the Panacut AZTEEG X3pro is the answer
