I am using the Max32 as a replacement for a Ardunio controller on a RepRap Prusa Mendel 3D printer. I hope to see the Ethernet and SD card working soon so that can be added to the functions. Anyone else doing a 3D printer with a chipKIT? See==> RepRap[dot]org

I hope to see the Ethernet and SD card working soon so that can be added to the functions.

I've run the WebServer demo on the Max32 with the Ethernet Shield, it works... The very basic demo takes about 50k of code space.

I plan on trying to read g-codes to control some motors, does the rep-rat use g-codes?

Did the SD libraries get fixed yet?

I wanted to use marlin FW, so has anyone got it working?

Hey, great - I also plan to rebuild the controller Software for a RepRap Printer on Chipkit PI in the future. Based on existing Audrino Software of course. Any improvements on your project? Any tips how GCode via serial port is working (what does host send, how is end of Message defined, what does slave response,...) Thanks in advance.

Hey, cool! I'd also like to control a reprap Printer with Chipkit PI. How is your project going on? Any good tipps how GCode works via serial communication?
