Yesterday while I was looking at some 3D printer boards missed a webinar called “How to help hedgehogs”. Somehow we do not do enough for environment and nature and decided that I can make one 3D printer controller board. For anyone who might be interested helping hedgehogs, a web site called
Hedgehogstreet has great practical resources.
Intended features of Hedgehogs 7+ board:
- 1 GHz application processor + 120 MHz motion control microcontroller
- 7 TMC2209 stepper drivers
- 3 heater channels – 1 bed + 2 extruder heaters
- 2 fans
- 4 analog inputs for thermistors
- CAN bus and GPIO expansion
- Dual band 2.4 GHz and 5GHz WiFi connectivity
- 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX Ethernet interface
- LVDS interface for connecting LCD screens including from old laptops etc.
- Touch screen controller
- Audio interfaces: microphone, 2x5W audio amplifier
- FM radio
- Software support for
Marlin,
Repetier,
Klipper,
Reprap … firmware as well as
Duet Web Control,
Repetier Server,
OctoPrint etc.
The board is intended to be open-source and nonprofit project. Hope more people could get involved and help organizations like
British Hedgehog Preservation Society.
Please let me know if you have any feature recommendations or suggestions.
