Look what a matt black beauty arrived today 
I was backing the right kickstarter 
This is a Panucatt re-ARM for RAMPS. Just swapping the Mega2560 with this and you can have the ease of smoothieware with the well known RAMPS all together…
Beautiful!
Damn! I’m still waiting for my delivery. What backer number were you Renè?
I was no.106, first delivery batch iirc…
Let us know how it flashes and runs. First attractive kickstarter in a long time.
Meh, I was backer no. 90 and mine is still in L.A… Let us know how it works @Rene_Jurack , thanks!
I don’t see why you wouldn’t just buy a smoothieboard ??
Finally it is good to live in europe 
We got the good 3D printing stuff
And I don’t think, it will come to real use with me.
I’m still waiting for mine.
I’m also in Europe, but on a teenie tiny island.
as long as it is warm there, I think you’ll be fine
Mine’s in this month’s batch, can’t wait to get it on the printer.
@Rien_Stouten no…I don’t see…Why would you want to use an 8 bit processor when you can have a 32 bit UPGRADE which is cheaper than a smoothie…Runs the same firmware, and is essentially a plug and play for someone’s printer that already is wired for RAMPS??
I think you should do more research before you post.
This card work with the same marlin that mega2560+ramp1.4 ?
I’ve been wondering how long till arduino do something like this them selves?
@Rien_Stouten I understand you save +/-50 euros with cheap ass Ramps… but cutting corners on electonics is just something I’d never do… the Smoothieboard has always been our choice for machines 
@David_Bassetti as a tester of this board, you don’t understand how wrong you are with the comment “cutting corners on electronics”. This is a great board for anyone with an aging RAMPS system that wants to upgrade without having to rewire everything.
@David_Bassetti Cutting corners? Cheap? What are you talking about? You seem very insecure about your choices. No need to defend anything - you’ll still be able to use Smoothieboards in all your machines, nobody’s going to take this away from you, chill!
I’m personally looking forward to upgrading my noname chinese MEGA 2560 (~8€) that’s coupled with a pretty nice EU made high quality RAMPS 1.4 (~28€) with the Re-ARM (51$). I would not buy a Smoothieboard 5XC for 186€ from the european distributor - I cannot justify that price for >ME<. YMMV, enjoy!
Btw, @Rene_Jurack don’t use it when sitting on those grey ESD baggies - those are conductive.
@Rene_Jurack Any issues getting firmware on it?
