List of Firmware
This page is an attempt to summarize ALL the firmware I can find in this gadawful mess of a wiki. From here on down is the authoritative list of firmwares:
Contents
FiveD
- Author(s)
- no idea
- Status
- active as of June 22, 2011
- Short Description
- From what I can tell, this is the granddaddy of all firmwares. It appears to be the original G-code interpreter from where everything is forked. It looks like development is still active.
Features
- stepper extruder
- extruder speed control
- movement speed control
- RepRap-style acceleration
- thermocouples
- heated build platforms
Compatible Electronics
How to download
It's my understanding that as of July 6, the sourceforge repo for all official reprap stuff is getting switched over to github so for now, it can be checked out from sourceforge by running the command:
svn co https://reprap.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/reprap/trunk/software/firmware
or to check it out from github, run:
git clone https://github.com/reprap/firmware.git
The firmware is in the FiveD_GCode Directory
Documentation & Misc. Notes
Documentation is over at Microcontroller firmware installation
Tonokip

- Somehow this is linked to the FiveD firmware because it's in the same repository as FiveD. I think its the same but can just read SD cards.
Features
