I don't know much about MachineKit... Meikian is a GNU/Linux live (and now also installable) distribution intended for minimal hardware requirements, and with most of the software used in the «maker» ecosystem (from educational programming or electronics development and manufacturing to 2D/3D graphics design and printing) already installed and configured. LinuxCNC is integrated for RT machine coby xoan - General
Here we go! Meikian Live v8.0 (2015.12.01), based on Debian 8 «Jessie», with installer and a lot of application upgrades. You can download the image file and md5 checksum from GPUL servers: meikian-live_8.0.iso meikian-live_8.0.md5by xoan - General
Hi, I'm currently planning to make an indie build of Mondrian, and I have some problems by testing the Y sliders Motor screw holes are 3.5mm depth, and RP part is 25mm, so M3x30 countersunk screw needs 5mm. I solved by using 4 M3 washers as spacer. Screws that holds the 603 bearings (5mm depth) cannot be screw at all because the separation between small protusions are 5.20mm and it bends andby xoan - FoldaRap

Meikian 1.1 is out: (release announce in spanish mailing list). It is a maintenance release. The full changelog can be found in the documentation version history: The next release will use Debian «Jessie» as the base system, and will come with lot of upgrades in the main packages: FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, Arduino, etc...

Hi all! I'm one of the contributors and beta tester of a one year old project that aims to build a free and open source GNU/Linux live distribution intended to cover the RepRap/CNC/Electronic needs in a full featured an pre-configured workbench. The current stable version is based on Debian GNU/Linux «Wheezy», and there are plans to make a «Jessie» release when it comes to stable. It features aby xoan - General
This extension is designed as a shield for Gen7 (look at the pin headers labeled as «BOARD»), so if you want to use with other electronics board, you may want to make an interface to conect this pins (maybe a breadboard or something similar).by xoan - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
You just need to compare both Sanguinololu and Melzi espansion hader and figure out what pin replaces Sanguinololu D12 in Melzi. There are a loto of information about this two boards in the wiki.by xoan - FoldaRap

Hi, It is only an earlier RP case for a custom Panelolu with a 16x2 LCD display, encoder, contrast trimpot and reset button. No SD yet :\ It is hardcoded with OpenSCAD, so please, do not open the .scad source file if you don't want to have a nigthmare (no comments, no parametric, ... no nothing But it has some cool things: It is a one-piece part that can be printed without support.

I've made some changes in the schematics and pcb layout to add some of the SevenSwitch [1] and Gen7 Board [2] modifications. Also added a header with SIG-12V-GND output to connect a fan using a SevenSwitch or similar in order to run an active cooling fan. Not yet tested. [1] [2]by xoan - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Take a look: It mounts in the same way that the other extension boards do.by xoan - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
I did an extension board to support a similar feature and it's unobtrusive with I2C. BTW, MOSFETs for extruder heaters don't need any kind of passive cooling nor heatsink at all (I use the IRFZ44N in a v1.5 board).by xoan - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Quotefgascon Thanks for the advice. I guess that if you have min endstops and configure the size of the RepRap's printable area, then the software should know the max. I will put my enables all on the same pin has you said. I won't need to chain my endstops, because I now have enough pins for everything. But if choose to add other stuff in the future I'll definitely look into it. So my pins maby xoan - Controllers
The major problem you'll find will be to adapt the whole structure in order to fit the NEMA 17 size motors: it's designed to use NEMA 14, so many parts must be changed, depending on the version you want to build. All the other parts are easy to adapt: belts can be up to 6mm (either T5, T2.5, GT2, or whatever, depending on your pulleys), hotend mount require only a different RP part (see the J-Heby xoan - FoldaRap
I think you can use the electronics what you want, but its total height may not exceed 4.5cm if you want to put it inside the base frame (or maybe a bit more if you put it in the middle of the underplate between the smooth rods.)by xoan - FoldaRap
Printed right now just to figure out how to assemble the J-Head.by xoan - FoldaRap
I think there is no need for instructions: simply print it and assembly it. Besides the screws and nuts for to mount into the x-carriage, I think you need a couple of M3x20 screws and M3 nuts to secure the J-Head groovemount. And there is also a fan support in the same directory. I'm planning to build a FoldaRap the next month, and I have a J-Head too, but I'm currently looking at the 1.2 versioby xoan - FoldaRap
You have a 1.1 compatible J-Head mount in the Wooz mod in Github, so you can try it and let us know how well it worksby xoan - FoldaRap

Hi, You don need any shield at all. Simply wire the ISP assigned pins in Arduino MEGA to the ISP header in Gen7, like in: Check further instructions on how to disable auto-reset in Arduino, and voila! (for me it worksby xoan - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
