I'd read about the mega design, and there is an updated v3 stepper driver in the RepRap library - I hadn't realised there was a separate MakerBot one!

I started on Eagle because my first attempt was to change the stepper driver board to single sided - and that was done in Eagle (from the reprap library and thingiverse).<br /><br />KiCad seems fully capable (on a one-hour tryout) and a suitable open-source replacement for Eagle : However, it won't load /convert eagle files.<br />The RepRap shield I am currently working on is based on the eagle Arduino files.<br /><br />I just use what works: both will do the job so far.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046079586632841601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262293474703579452.post-1149770347314464372010-03-16T14:50:07.446+00:002010-03-16T14:50:07.446+00:00Would be better if everyone would go with KiCad, b...Would be better if everyone would go with KiCad, because I believe is better than Eagle and is Open Source while Eagle not.<br /><br />Did you try already KiCad?<br /><br />http://kicad.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_PageCasainhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458423869238512900noreply@blogger.com
