That will work also. If you don't want to cut up a USB cable Adafruit has a micro USB DIY connector with solder pads and a plastic shell.by WZ9V - Controllers

Get a 12V to 5V switching regulator and run the Pi off of the 12V supply.by WZ9V - Controllers
Why not another Duet? I seem to recall it has CoreXY support.by WZ9V - Smart_Rap
They had a flurry of activity and now seem to be non responsive. It was a good idea but I wouldn't recommend buying in until they get their act together. If you want a BeagleBone based solution you are better off considering the Replicape with Redeem or a CRAMPS 2.2 with MachineKit. Both have a far more active development community. FastBot decided to keep the firmware closed source so nobodyby WZ9V - Controllers

I you might want to put a thermometer on the PEI plate because you may not be getting the entire 100C at the surface. I like to use a multimeter thermocouple to see what my actual surface temp is and then adjust accordingly.by WZ9V - Printing
You could probably use a SainSmart Relay board by Jumpering JD-VCC and VCC (default setting) and then supply VCC from 5V, GND from GNC, and IN1 from the PS-ON output. It has all the other stuff PRZ mentioned already baked in since it was intended to be driven by a GPIO pin from a Duet/Raspberry Pi or Arduino. The above configuration will not work for 3.3V logic though. I can tell you how I havby WZ9V - Duet
I have not tried it at 3.3V or 5V yet. I have one but its still in the box until I get my Delta back online. I guess I could try it with a spare RPi I have and let you know. I've had nothing but trouble with FSR based nozzle probes. Don't know if it was my cursed machine or not. I'm rebuilding it with metal corners/carriages and dumping the FSR's in favor of trying a BLTouch. Thinking oby WZ9V - Controllers
The same servo logic required for a servo deployed micro switch will also support the BLTouch. It uses the servo input signal to trigger the deployment of the pin the same way as a r/c servo would be used to raise/lower a micro switch. It is the M280 G-code in Marlin.by WZ9V - Controllers
Hopefully DC42 will chime in on this. In case he does and needs info on the BLTouch 1) The two wire connector is the end stop signal which I believe should go to E0 end stop 2) The three wire is intended to be connected to an output for a standard R/C servo (no idea how to do this with Duet)by WZ9V - Controllers
That is not what DC42 is saying. Those cheap SSRs have an ON resistance of approximately 0.1 Ohm which equates to 10% of the power you run through them being lost as heat in the BJT transistor used in the SSR. I have done my own tests with a 12V 20A setup and the temperature at the heatsink was as high as 80C when running that setup to 110C (ABS temps).

This sort of architecture sounds perfect for a BeagleBone assuming you could adapt the stepper/endstop/thermistor code to run on its two PRU's.by WZ9V - Firmware - experimental, borrowed, and future

QuotePotapich Do you think Duet FW will work on this Board? It won't, nobody has attempted to port it.by WZ9V - Controllers
The Robo R1+ uses separate drivers for both Z-Motors but I think they do it using a special RAMPS board that jumpers step/dir from Z to E1.by WZ9V - Duet

I would love to try Fusion 360 but I run Linux and I'm no installing Windows to do it.by WZ9V - 3D Design tools
I had similar issues with the stock firmware provided on my Robo R1+, I updated it to 1.1.0 RC6 and it works as expected without all the weird resets and temp lockups I was experiencing when trying to trigger a SD print from within Pronterface.by WZ9V - Firmware - Marlin
Me too, except mine was a SmoothieBoard 5XCby WZ9V - Controllers
If you are using a Raspberry running OctoPrint you could setup a relay board and use the print start/end events to turn things on and off. I still haven't set it all up but that's how I plan to do it. OctoPrint Print start event will switch on 12V power, LED's, and camera. OctoPrint print stop events will turn all that off.by WZ9V - General
There are some plug-in boards where the chip is installed on the bottom with a metal pad on the upper part for a heat sink. If you can find those they are much better than the typical cheap ones that are built incorrectly and you can actually use a heatsink/fan to push them harder.by WZ9V - General
I think I found my answer in the code. It does look like the value set by M565 is stored in the EEPROM but not printed by M503. It also appears that M565 unlike the others automatically updates the EEPROM when set rather then requiring an M500 like the others. It looks like they are making this consistent with the other commends in version 1.1by WZ9V - Firmware - Marlin
I agree that Smoothie's config file is more readable but being able to modify configs just by sending G-Code is really nice. A compromise would be some sort of user friendly utility or web page that spits out a RepRapFirmware G-Code style config. While it was a bit of a confusion at first the G-Code route isn't all that hard once you get used to it and how often do you really change that stuffby WZ9V - Duet
With a Smoothie or Duet the LCD is not strictly necessary but it can be nice to have. The web interfaces are quite capable of preventing the sorts of issues one normally see when spooling data through USB and allow the printer to work autonomously. If you were using one of the Arduino based boards then either a LCD/SD Card or OctoPrint setup is needed (in my opinion) to make things reliable.by WZ9V - General

I have Marlin 1.0.0 on a Robo R1+ and M565 returns -0.7 is that stored in EEPROM somewhere? I don't see a default value for it in configuration.h but M503 does not display anything with -0.7 when it dumps the EEPROM.by WZ9V - Firmware - Marlin
