Faster deltabot / kossel / rostock printer

TRAMS

Trinamic RAMPS , might not faster but better

The Mega2560 + RAMPS 1.4 is not fast enough for delta printer. So we should select some ARM 32 based solution

2. Choosing a 32-bit board 

Arduino Due 

The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU (datasheet).  It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core  microcontroller. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 12 can be  used as PWM outputs), 12 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 84 MHz  clock, an USB OTG capable connection, 2 DAC (digital to analog), 2 TWI,  a power jack, an SPI header, a JTAG header, a reset button and an erase  button.  

FW: Repetier Firmware 0.92 

HW:

1.  Arduino due + RAMPS FD  (don’t use geetech version, it’s too old v1 & bad production quality ,too buggy ). There is V3 ?
2.  Arduino due + RADDS http://reprapteile.de/elektronik/radds.html
3. Arduino due + Smart RAMPS http://reprap.org/wiki/SMART_RAMPS
4. Perfect delta auto-calibration in 30 seconds on duet! different board & fw based on reprap pro

Smoothie

NXP LPC 1768/9 32-bits Cortex-M3 MCU, running at 96 to 120Mhz. 512kB Flash, 64kB RAM.

FW: Smoothieware  從Marlin -> Smoothieware  howto

Compatible boards 

1. Smoothieboard   安裝Walkthrough protect
2. Azteeg X5 mini  目前困擾是DRV8825對步進搭配上很不好找到比較沒有底噪的電流組合,這問題隨著不同型號步進馬達會變化
3. 3DPCB
4. Momoinololu M3[Rev 1.0]
5. AZSMZ 因為有搭配的LCD,在LCD方面安裝簡易. 穩定性待觀察,(還有因為沒有放brd違反OSHW的問題)
6. SUNBEAM 2.0 
7. Brainboard V2 Dead? 出現在濤寶 
8. MKS SBASE V1.x    可接GLCD(但mks似乎有自己的sbase特別版本)
9. MKS Smini 更小張的簡化sbase版本
10. MP-DCSYboard 1.0 

Duet

Similar to DUE but firmware ReprapPro based

dc42 have some work on deltabot support fw
