BAM&DICE For Arduino Mega
BAM&DICE is the short form of Beta Arduino Mega & Diverse interchangeable controller extension. It is a combination of the BAM-Shield, an enhanced version of RAMPS V1.41, mounted with the common used PCI-E connectors for the suitable DICE modules.
What is the difference between BAM&DICE and Ramps1.4?
BAM&DICE is 100% compatible to RAMPS 1.4. All existing extensions for RAMPS - except the stepper motor drivers - can be used with the BAM-Shield.
Improvements of BAM&DICE:
- Pin connectors have been replaced by PCI-E connectors to get more power throughput
- The usage of PCI-E connectors allows fast data exchange via RS232, I2C and SPI
- PTC fuses have been replaced by automotive fuses
- Most possible flexibility for Arduino based applications by enabling the parallel use of five DICEs instead of only stepper motor drivers
