So I have been tasked with converting a Shopbot desktop into a 3D printer. Currently I am looking at what control board to replace the shopbot control board with. I have read this article: [
blog.reprap.org] so I know it's possible, but I am confused as to why you would use a RAMBO board if you already are using the stepper drivers. Would a RAMPS board work in this application? My background is in CNC and robotics so I am not afraid to get my hands dirty, but was hoping for some guidance before I start disassembling this machine. My hope would be to make this an Arduino based project as the goal would be to eventually build the machine from scratch.
Thanks for the advice.
