About the 4pi board
The 4pi board is a 4xpi sized controller board for reprap 3D printers. It descends from previous reprap electronics like RAMPS and Sanguinololu, it's main novelties are the use of a more powerful chip ( Atmel 32bits ), and a full-SMT design. The driver microstepping is 1/16 uStep (like Pololu)
About the 4pi firmware
The 4PI firmware is a port of the Sprinter firmware. The G-code parser has been rewritten, and so the sd-card handling, as well as many other improvements. Also new G-code commands were added:
- M109. Set extruder temperature and wait.
Wiring
Compiling and uploading
Overview
- Grab the firmware here.
- Compile the firmware OR get a precompiled one
- Upload the firmware to the hardware
Windows
Compiler
- Codesourcery
- Do not use the newest Workbench. There is a problem with no serial device found after flashing. To be sure use version arm-2012.03-56-arm-none-eabi.exe
Tip: Instead of using Codesourcery, you can try gcc-arm-embedded.
