Summary

RUMBA (R.eprap U.niversal M.ega B.oard with A.llegro driver) RUMBA is a feature rich all-in-one electronics solution for Reprap and other CNC devices.

It features an onboard ATmega2560. Its six motor outputs are powered by Pololu pin compatible stepper drivers.

The board features a developer friendly expansion port supporting giving access to all unused I/O, ADC and I2C pins.

RUMBA is designed to be flexible in the user's power source availability, allowing any power supply from 12V-35V.

Safety Tip

Warning-general-2.gif.png Caution
Once you start putting electricity into your RepRap - even at just 12 volts - you have to take basic, common sense precautions to avoid fires.
Just in case these fail, test your workshop smoke detector. Got no smoke detector? Get one!

RUMBA USB Driver for Windows

Motor Driver

Microstepping

Some versions of the Rumba contain dip switches located underneath the driver boards, but current versions may contain a row of 3 jumpers.

Smart Controller (optional)

USB

The Rumba uses a standard USB Mini-b (5-pin) female connector.

RUMBA Wiring

Wiring plan based on available information , may contain wrong information ! / recheck necessary.

ATX power supply (controlled with RUMBA)

Set the power jumper in "stand alone" position

Connect GND from your ATX power supply to USB header Pin1 (where the black triangle is)

Connect 5 VSB from your ATX power supply (+5 VDC Standby Voltage) to USB header Pin4

Connect GND and PS ON (Power Supply On) from your ATX power supply to PS ON header, polarity doesn't matter


You'r now able to switch your power supply on and off via gcode or smart controler. With ATX +5 VDC Standby Voltage RUMBA is always powered on even if the power supply is turned of via RUMBA.

FAN0

Can be activated with the usual M106 Sxxx and deactivated with M107 (or M106 S0)

FAN1

Could be activated by using Mcode : M42 P8 Sxxx (0 < xxx < 255)

RUMBA Firmware Pin Configuration

This is an example only! Most likely your firmware of choice will have support for RUMBA built in

As of Marlin v1.0.0 pins.h contains the below suggested definitions, you should only need to change Configuration.h.

To flash your firmware of choice with the Arduino suite you have to select "Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK" as Board.

Add to pins.h:

Troubleshooting

USB connection (Writing in progress)

Symptoms

without any reason, the USB connection to the RUMBA is not possible. When connecting the USB cable to the computer, the operating system does not see any device. If the board is provided with a SD card reader, printing with a SD card is still possible.

Correction

First, be sure that the problem is not due to a bad position of the power jumper. The problem could be caused by the USB2Serial firmware. Then, you should flash the firmware following these steps:

  • Set the power jumper in "USB powered" position.
  • Place a jumper slightly on the two pins pointed by the white arrow (see picture below). (These are the Ground and Reset pins of the ISP programming header for the ATMega16u4 chip that handles the USB communication.)
  • If the board is not mounted on your printer, place it on a clean, dry and insulated surface.
  • Connect the USB cable on the board, and connect it on your computer
  • Remove the jumper (be careful not to make short-circuit, do not use metallic tools). The TX and RX leds are flashing: the board is now in DFU mode.

RUMBA DFU.png

If you are running Linux or Mac OSX, you can now flash the firmware by doing this:

  • Download and unzip File:RRD-RUMBA ATmega16U2 USB2Serial.hex.zip on your home folder.
  • Install the software dfu-programmer. You must have the version 0.5.5 or above (Ubuntu 13.10 or higher).
    • Mac users can install via Homebrew
$ brew install dfu-programmer
  • With root privileges (or sudo command), execute this command line to flash the firmware:
sudo dfu-programmer atmega16u2 flash RRD-RUMBA_ATmega16U2_USB2Serial.hex
  • You can now disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, and try to connect your host software to the board. The board should now be listed with the "lsusb" command.

RepRapDiscount Smart Controler

Symptoms

The smart controler is beeping and flashing, rumba isn't responding

Correction

On some rumba boards the silk screen labeling on EXP1 and EXP2 is wrong. Try turning each connector by 180°.
