Feature:

Makeboard Mini is specially designed by Micromake Technical Team to solve the problem which usually occurs on the open source control board of Ramps 1.4 3d printers.
It’s suitable for 3D printer DIY kits manufacturer in particularly.
We had fully consider about the mistakes that customers usually make in the beginning, so we use different color to distinguish different connector, and use XH connector to avoid reverses.
We give enough protection in the circuit program.
The board adopt dual self-recovery fuses to avoid short-circuit and 4-way high resistance diode to avoid reverse so you will not damage the board even if the wire of power sully is insert oppositely.
The design of Pin is compatible with RAMPS 1.4 control board, you can download the open source firmware of Marlin or Repetier and so on to use directly.
Support 1602, 2004,12684 display, insert EXP1, EXP2 connector, meanwhile, with AUX1 connector the touch color screen is available.
The size of this board is 10*8.5cm, the 4 setting hole use M3 screws, the center of the hole is 4.5mm far from the edge.
Support many kinds of 3D printer with transmission structure.
Open source printer firmware for your reference, which makes it easier for DIY beginners to get start.
 
The distinction from Makeboard Pro:

It has integrated driver chip so you needn’t extra purchase. Easier assembly, Mini size and matched Acrylic shell as a gift. What’s more, it supports both DC interface and terminal block for power supply. You can use DC power supply without using heated bed, it’s simple and beautiful.
 
The update compared to Micromake 1.3:

Enhanced power supply circuit, adopted professional power management chip, support 40V input wide voltage at most while the previous 1.3 version only support 12V.
Integrated driver chipis updated from 16, 32 microstep2 stepper modes to 16, 32, 64, 128 microstep4 stepper modes.
It has both DC interfaceand terminal block for your choice of power supply mode according to the situation while the previous 1.3 version can only choose one from two.

Note:

The drive chip can support 128 microstep at most and can be adjusted by MS1, MS2 jumper on the control board. H means short circuit, and L means disconnecting.
If you need to adjust current, please put the positive electrodes of multimeter into screw hole on adjustable resistor and put negative electrodes on USB shell after restarting printer.
The measured voltage divided by 0.8 equals current of drive chip. Eg: If the default voltage is 0.6V, the current is 0.6/0.8=0.75A.
Please be sure to cut off power first, then rotate adjustable resistor with screwdriver. Turn left to decrease the value, turn right to increase the value. Don’t screw too much at one time, 30°is OK.
Turn on the power after adjustment, then measure the voltage, if it isn’t appropriate, please cut off the power and adjust again. Emphasize again, be sure to cut off power before screw the adjustable resistor.
It’s not recommended to adjust current without multimeter. We have set the recommended value at the factory. It’s 0.75A for XYZ motors, 1A for E motor.
It’s wrong to say the bigger current, the better. High current will cause hot motor. If XYZ motors are too hot, they will fall out step. If E motor is too hot, the filament will become too soft to squeeze out.

Package includes:

1 x 3D Printer Control Board





In the pin definition diagram, GND means negative electrodes, VCC means +5V, VIN means input voltage. For example, if you use 24V power, VIN expresses as +24V.
Marlin and Repetier firmware’s definition to pin:
Eg: Digital IO   D38 is written as 38;
      Analog IO    A1 is written as 1+54=55, A2 is written as 56.
If you don’t use heated bed, you can directly plug DC power supply above 5A into DC jack to supply electricity without extra wiring. It’s simple and safe.
If you need to use heated bed, please connect switch power supply above 15V with connector according to “The top is positive and the below is negative.” Then plug it into POWER jack.
You can use 5V-40V power supply, please note that the heating wire, heated bed, motor and fan have to be corresponding voltage. 12V, 24V is commonly used.
For non-Delta structure printer, you need modify pin definition of limit switch. You just need to modify a code according to your firmware type in the following way.
If you use Marlin firmware, please open pins-RAMPS.h file, press Ctrl+F to search X_MIN_PIN.
Then change X_MIN_PIN into 2, Y_MIN_PIN into 15, Z_MIN_PIN into 19, the code as follows:




If you use Repetier firmware, please open pins.h file, press Ctrl+F to search #ifdef RAMPS_V_1_3.
Then change ORIG_X_MIN_PIN into 2, ORIG_Y_MIN_PIN into 15, ORIG_Z_MIN_PIN into 19, the code as follows:
