Description
The 3D Printer Kit includes an Arduino Mega2560 MPU, a RAMPS 1.4 expansion board, an A4988 stepper motor driver board, and a LCD 2004 display. The Mega2560 acts as the main control board and has multiple input/output terminals, UARTs, and a 16 MHz crystal oscillator. The RAMPS 1.4 board is designed to fit all necessary electronics for a RepRap in one compact package and can be expanded with additional Arduino boards. It also includes an SD-Card reader, rotary encoder, and LCD display. The A4988 driver allows for control of one bipolar stepper motor. The package includes the RAMPS 1.4 board, Mega 2560 R3, 5 A4988 driver modules, LCD display, and USB cable.
The Arduino Mega2560 MPU is the brain of the 3d printer
RAMPS1.4 is the expansion board of the main control board, which acts as a transition
A4988 stepper motor driver board to connect the stepper motor, the main control board to
achieve the control of the stepper motor, XYZ and the extruder to achieve the action
Mega is an ATmega2560 as core microcontroller development board itself has 54 groups
digital I / O input / output terminal (14 groups do PWM outputs), 16 sets of simulation than
the input side, group 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), using the 16 MHz crystal oscillator.
The RAMPS 1.4 board is designed to fit the entire electronics needed for a RepRap in
one small package for low cost. RAMPS interfaces an Arduino Mega with the powerful
Arduino MEGA platform and has plenty room for expansion. The modular design includes
plug in stepper drivers and extruder control electronics on an Arduino MEGA shield for easy
service, part replacement, upgrade-ability and expansion. Additionally, 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.
It contains a SD-Card reader, an rotary encoder and a 20 Character x 4 Line LCD display.
A4988 driver is a carrier board or breakout board for Allegro's A4988 DMOS Microstepping
Driver with Translator and Overcurrent Protection by Pololu; we therefore recommend careful
reading of the A4988 datasheet before using this product. This stepper motor driver lets you
control one bipolar stepper motor at up to 2 A output current per coil.
