About the 4pi board

The 4pi board is a 4xpi sized controller board for reprap 3D printers. It descends from previous reprap electronics like RAMPS and Sanguinololu, it's main novelties are the use of a more powerful chip ( Atmel 32bits ), and a full-SMT design.

About the 4pi firmware

The 4PI firmware is a port of the Sprinter firmware. The G-code parser has been rewritten, and so the sd-card handling, as well as many other improvements. Also new G-code commands were added:

  • M109. Set extruder temperature and wait.
