Kamaq

Project Kamaq is a Linux-based RepRap firmware written in Python, with a web-interface in HTML5/JavaScript and websockets. It controls up to 4 stepper motors (axes) via standard USB audio device, end-switches and heaters via GPIO and hw-mon.

Status

Kamaq is fully functional to the point that it has been used successfully for many prints. It can control the printer hardware, execute gcode-file (stored locally, copied via scp or similar), and monitor progress graphically.

Hardware Requirements

For running Kamaq, you will need the following hardware:

• Embedded Linux system with reasonable processing power. Anything like a Raspberry-Pi or more powerful should work (Beagle-bone, etc...).
• USB Audio device (7.1 channel). You will need to short the output capacitors to get DC-response for better accuracy.
