New to the 3D world but we own a Folgertech and are rebuilding a CubeX Pro Duo for my sons high school. The printer had died and it is one of three that are too cost prohibitive to keep as they are. We are converting the carcass over to a RepRap set up after gutting the original. its going well and fairly simple so far. However, we purchased all new electronics from Amazon. This is what we purchased...
BIQU Mega2560 Control Board + LCD 12864 Graphic Smart Display Controller Module + Ramps 1.4 Mega Shield+A4988 Stepstick Stepper Motor Driver with Heat Sink for 3D Printer Arduino Reprap. [

When the Ramps board came in, the back says its a 1.6 and I've looked around online and it does have the Mosfets directly on the board. My question is regarding Marlin. We are getting ready to upload Marlin 1.1.9 but there doesn't seem to be much support info for the 'new' Ramps board. Can we simply go with the 1.4 and it should still work the same? There have been a few modifications to this board including the power block terminals. The pins are soldered sloppy and are slightly bent... not a big deal but I'd like to know if anyone else has used this board. What do we need to be prepared for?
red is what we ordered, blue is what we got....
Thanks if this is too newb....
Steve
