RUMBA Controller

The ELE-0038 RUMBA Controller (R.eprap U.niversal M.ega B.oard with A.llegro driver) control board is used in our Stewart Platform 2. It’s a great way to build the UberPrinter or drive your next major robot project. It’s even Arduino compatible!

Features

  • Arduino 2560-R3 compatible works with Sprinter, Repetier, Marlin out of the box. Easy to change/flash firmware for end user
  • ATmega16U2 (with enhanced firmware) for high speed USB serial connection (up to 2MBit)
  • Easy DISPLAY + SD-CARD connector: RepRapDiscount SmartController compatible pin header on board
  • Up to 6 motor driver with easy micro stepping setup (micro switches): TRIPLE extruder or DUAL Z driver and DUAL extruder
  • 5x temperature ADC connectors. e.g. 3x extruder thermistor + 1x heated bed thermistor + 1x chamber thermistor
  • 5x PWM capable power mosfet outputs, 3 with voltage selector for MainPower/12V. e.g. 3x (MainPower) extruder heater cartridge/power resistor + 1x (12V) fan + 1x (12V) light
  • 1x PWM capable power mosfet with extended cooling area for heated bed
  • 6x end stop connectors with power supply: Xmin/Xmax/Ymin/Ymax/Zmin/Zmax. Can be used with mechanical, opto, or hall effect end stops
  • screw terminals and pin header for easy motor connection. Can be used with existing 4 pin Molex plug on motor cable. Easy to attach cables without plug.
  • USB connector and pin header, useful when mounting in a small box
  • Universal power can be used with 12V-35V for motors / heated bed.
  • Integrated high precision power regulators for 12V (FAN/Light/etc) and 5V (ATmega2560/Logic)
  • Power input jumper for ATmega/logic for stand alone or power from USB.
  • Power and ALL unused pins available on EXP-3 feature connector
    • +5V and +12V
    • 2x ADC
    • 2x PWM I/O
    • 4x I/O
    • I2C
  • full JTAG support. JTAG can be used during full operation (no shared pins). easy to develop/debug new or optimized firmware using Atmel Studio.
