Electronics Naming Conventions

Goal

The goal of this page is to categorize and organize RepRap electronics releases with a standard naming convention that is similar to how RepRap's are named. As this is written (09-06-2010) the current standard is "Generation n" where n is an positive integer that is incremented by one for each release AKA Gen. 2, Gen. 3, etc.
