    Re: FOAM CUTER AND 3D PRINTER

    I also had a look at this software...the firmware is working perfectly, the controller is also good and works for older pcs but harder to adapt...
    We only have to check if the pins definition needs mapping for the uno.
    A disadvantage for this UNO solution is you don't have enough pins for the end limits and you can control only 4 motors.
    With the Ramp/Mega solution you have plenty pins, up to five motors (rotary if needed), up to 6 swithes, and can also attach a display if required.

    Personally I will stick to the GRBL Hotwire Controllersoftware as I have the source in vb.net and I ported to c# as I'm more confortable with c# syntax. This will give me the opportunity to make software changes and write extensions as needed. I will also write simple CAM software for 4-Axis.
    Yes! it will help me if you send me the printed parts, and if you don't mind also the 3d parts. Thanks.
