D Printer Controller RAMPS 1.4: The Rep Rap Arduino-compatible MEGA Pololu Shield, or RAMPS for short. It is designed to fit the entire electronics needed for a Rep Rap in one small package for low cost. RAMPS interfaces an Arduino-compatible Mega with the powerful Arduino-compatible MEGA platform & has plenty room for expansion. The modular design
Includes:: plug in stepper drivers & extruder control electronics on an Arduino-compatible MEGA shield for easy service, part replacement, upgrade-ability & expansion. in addition, a number of Arduino expansion boards can be added to the system as long as the main RAMPS board is kept to the top of the stack.
Features: USB (Universal Serial Bus) type B receptacle. SD Card add on available. Fits 5 Pololu stepper driver board. LEDs indicate when heater outputs on. Expandable to control other accessories. Heated bed control with additional 11A fuse. Option to connect 2 motors to Z for Prusa Mendel. I2C & SPI pins left available for future expansion. It has provisions for the cartesian robot & extruder. All the Mosfets are hooked into PWM pins for versatility. 3 mosfets for heater / fan outputs & 3 thermistor circuits. Fused at 5A for additional safety & component protection. Pololu boards are on pin header sockets so they can be replaced easily or removed for use in future designs. Servo style connectors are used to connect to the endstops, motors, & leds. These connectors are gold plated, rated for 3A, very compact, & globally available. Ardu
