Yarf
FIRMWARE INFO | |
Details | Description |
Name : Yarf |
Yarf doesn't have (m)any revolutionary features compared to recent firmwares such as Marlin or Sailfish. However, because there is extensive source code documentation, the firmware can be interesting for anyone interested in lookin at the 'inner workings' of a RepRap firmware. Moreover, the firmware might be a good base to start from if you want to develop a new firmware feature but do not want to start from scratch. |
