New toy! It's the really fun kind too... no documentation, no notes, nothing.

New toy! It’s the really fun kind too… no documentation, no notes, nothing.

Basically looks like a RAMBo, but with DRV8825s, automotive fuses instead of the old microfuses, and, of course, the ARM chip.

Doesn’t appear to have a jumper for USB power, so I’ll have to install it on a machine tomorrow to power it up… anyone got more information?

Very cool. I’ve been meaning to design a board like this with the ATSAM3x8e but also an ATX PSU connector and RJ45 jacks which is how I’ve been wiring my printers. Got the name of this board or a link? And what are the dimensions, if you have a moment to measure it please.

I believe it’s called the Archim (based on the silk screening on the board). It’s made by Ultimachine, but I don’t have any more information. I’m guessing it runs smoothie, but since it doesn’t appear to have a USB power jumper, I haven’t been able to connect it to a PC yet.

Found it. So this is what became of TigerShark 3D!

I’m not entirely sure if it runs smoothie. The only threads regarding smoothie on due I found date back to 2013.

At first your picture reminded me of this: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/3D-printer-board-MKS-SBASE-V1-0-32-bit-motherboard-supports-open-source-firmware-Ethernet/32346332085.html

Keep us posted!

Ah, so it’s TinyG… awesome. I vaguely remember TigerShark… looks like we’ll have some firmware fun ahead of us as no one here is well versed with TinyG (yet).

Look into Chilipeppr. The Tigershark creator was at one point in time working on a 3d printer workspace for it, not entirely sure how far it got.
I’d also be curious to hear @jlauer 's thoughts on this board. Big tinyg fan! :slight_smile:

Wow. That is one serious looking board! How do I get one? It’s got 5 axes on it. Seems like tons of IO. That procesessor is the one on the Arduino Due so it’s a really nice processor that’s gotta be running G2. Good stuff. You should be able to drive this right from http://chilipeppr.com/tinyg but you may find that you want the “Send No Init Cmds” option under the upper right triangle menu of the TinyG widget since G2 sometimes needs less init commands than the original TinyG.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. Should be able to get something printing tomorrow with that. The only experience with TinyG I have is with the OtherMill, so this shall be fun.

As for where you can get one, I expect we will have these for sale soon, but as I said, we got no documentation or notes with it. Just a package with the board.

Looks interesting. I really love the RAMBo design and robustness. I’d heard Ultimachine was working on something new but this is the first I’ve seen of it.
