First print from TRAMS 3D-Printer Shield
For some weeks now we are working on our TRAMS 3D-printer shield – TRAMS is a derivative of the popolar RAMPS shield for Arduino Mega Boards. TRAMS is based on 4 TMC5130 cDriver – a Stepper motor driver with integrated ramp controller, so it offloads the AVR and reduces interrupt load to 10% of the original load. TMC5130 […]

First TRAMS prototype arrived today
Today the first protos of our new TRINAMIC RepRap Arduino Mega Shield (TRAMS) arrived – looking forward to having it operational in a few days. TRAMS is a derivative of the popular RAMPS board and is build to work with an Arduino Mega Board. We developed a Marlin variant that uses the internal ramp controllers of TMC5130 and thus relieves […]
