Morpheus-STM32 (work in progress)

A cheap 3D printer controller board for use with a "Blue Pill" STM32F1 generic board. Inspired on http://reprap.org/wiki/SinapTec

Design goals:

• Follow the KISS Principle
• Low cost
• Single layer copper board
• DIY-able (easy to make via toner transfer)
• Only through-hole components
• The very basic a printer would need
  • Keep bed circuit separated/optional (if you are making a PLA only printer without a heated bed, you don't need to populate the bed circuit zone)
• Open Source Hardware, made in Open Source Software

Features:

• 4 Pololu-like steppers (X, Y, Z, E0)
• 3 mosfets (Hotend heater, print cooling fan and bed heater)
• 3 MIN endstops (X, Y, Z)
• Z Probe pin (in case you are building a delta printer and need the extra endstop)
• 2 thermistors (for E0 and bed)
• 2 12V fan connectors
• I2C and SPI header

WARNING:

• All logic voltage in this board is 3.3V. Do not connect 5V logic addons/devices without proper level adapting.
• This board has no reverse current protection, it has a diode to short-circuit and protect the board in case of reverse current, but if you connect power incorrectly you'll still damage components and/or your power supply (there's also a risk of caching fire, so please be careful).
• This board has no overcurrent protection, please use a fuse on power input (e.g. auto-blade or inline fuse holder), recommended values are of 5A for the main board and 10A for the bed circuit.
• Check all connections before plugging power.
• Now for real, check connections...

Notes:

• Usually, "blue pill" boards have a wrong R10 value (USB pullpup resistor, should be 1.5k but manufcturers place a 10k or other value resistor instead), so you can add a 1.8k in R13. If your board has the correct value or you already fixed it in the board, then leave R13 unpopulated.
• Hotend sensor uses a 1k resistor pullup (R1). Anyway, if you're having trouble with finding (or creating) thermistor tables, just replace it with a 4.7k resistor and use the usual Marlin tables. Now Marlin has configurable thermistors, you can use thermistor 1000 in configuration.h and choose pull-up, ressistance and beta values in configuration_adv.h

morpheus-stm32's Issues

TMC2130 Support

Does this Board support the TMC2130 Silent StepSticks?

Work status?

Hi, I'm really interested in this project. Blue pill is a cheap and powerful board, so it's a nice choice for 3d printers. So I want to know is this board complete? Can I make one? Which software works with your board?

Schematic?

I etched this board just because, but what program do I use to open the .sch? It's not an Eagle .sch, and Altium Designer doesn't seem to be able to import it either
