Summary

RUMBA (R.eprap U.niversal M.ega B.oard with A.llegro driver) RUMBA is a feature rich all-in-one electronics solution for Reprap and other CNC devices.

It features an onboard ATmega2560. Its six motor outputs are powered by Pololu pin compatible stepper drivers.

The board features a developer friendly expansion port supporting giving access to all unused I/O, ADC and I2C pins.

RUMBA is designed to be flexible in the user's power source availability, allowing any power supply from 7V-30V.

Safety Tip

Once you start putting electricity into your RepRap - even at just 12 volts - you have to take basic, common sense precautions to avoid fires.

Just in case these fail, test your workshop smoke detector.
