I have been looking at the Atmel 32 microcontrollers, and I think we should start a design group for one of these. It not only helps solve the problem of microstepping multiple axes at once, it also makes USB interface easier, and adds Ethernet 10/100. But it certainly will not work on a single sided PCB, so it does not belong in the Gen 7 approach, which I agree is good for getting a board that a Mendel could possibly make. However, the 32 bit machines would allow for MANY extra interfaces, faster processing, more axes, more motors, more heaters. So I suggest we also start a working group to work on a 100 pin LQFP based design with lots of expansion built in. It will be longer before a reprap can build such a board, but for pre-purchased electronics it will open up whole new vistas for extra functions and capabilities for next generation repraps.
