Summary

RAMBo (RepRap Arduino-compatible Mother Board) is an all in one RAMPS class motherboard targeting convenience, reliability, and performance.

More info coming soon...

Features

Logic

  • Arduino MEGA compatible Atmega2560 and Atmega32u2 processors are compatible with all RAMPS class firmwares
  • Crystals for both usb and mcu (timing accurate to 10ppm)
  • 4 Thermistor jacks
  • All extra pins broken out on both processors (allows using the 32u2 for LUFA AVR programmer, etc.)
  • 2 channel SDRAMPS compatible SPI breakout

Motor Drivers

  • 5 A4984 1/8th microstep motor drivers (2 connectors on Z for Prusa Mendel)
  • Digital Trimpot for stepper current control
  • Current limit on driver IC VCC to prevent permanent latchup
  • Microstep mode configured by MCU through firmware (no jumpers needed)
  • Test points for driver control signals
  • Step and Direction pins are on their own ports for synchronous movement capability
  • Extra driver ports broke out for up to 3 additional drivers

PWM DC outputs (Extruders, Fans, Etc.)

  • 5 outputs
  • Low resistance mosfets for cool running
  • Indicator led for each channel

Power

  • Three independent power rails all accepting 10V-26V input voltage
    • Heated Bed 14A
    • Extruders 5A (fuse can be exchanged for up to 10A capacity)
    • Motors and logic 5A (fuse can be exchanged for up to 10A capacity)
  • Built in SMPS for 5V generation from 10V-26V Vin

PCB

  • 4 layer
  • 2oz copper on all layers
  • High quality, High temperature FR4-TG130 PCB
  • Gold ENIG finishing
