Smoothieboard is a controller board for Reprap 3D printers. It is a descendant of other Reprap electronics like RAMPS, RAMBO and Melzi.
The main design change from older boards that is uses a more powerful ( ARM 32bits ) Cortex-M3 Microcontroller.
The board is named Smoothieboard, and the firmware that runs on it is called Smoothie.
The Smoothie project's main design goals are :
- Ease of use and configuration
- High performance ( faster speeds, smoother motion, thus the name )
- Also works for laser cutters and CNC mills
- Ethernet ( web interface ) support
- Easy to contribute to, feature-rich
- Strong documentation effort ( beginner-friendly, coherent, up to date documentation )
