SAV OLÉd

The SAV OLÉd is a 1.3" graphical OLED LCD with rotary encoder with click button and 1 push button to control your 3D printer or gadget. It allows the control of a 3D printer running Marlin firmware and a SAV MkI, sanguinololu, printrboard or similar electronics directly without having to have a computer connected.

Standard features are provided by marlin firmware, all of which are fully operational: start and stop prints, control print speed while printing and change many calibration settings - saving these to the AVR’s EEPORM so they are persistent if you turn the printer on and off -. 
The design also counts with an enclosure box that can be mounted on your printer.

This module does not have an SD reader as this feature is provided by the SAV MkI, making the LCD interface more reliable and glitch free.
The LCD module comes with an expansion module to connect directly to the SAV MkI.

It connects to the main controller using a 14 wire ribbon cable using a 3M box connector. The LCD has been tested with a 1.5m ribbon cable without glitches

Mini Heatbed for Play

We bring along a mini heatbed we have just develop for the Lewihe Play or the Printrbot Play. If you want to upgrade your mini printer to be able to print more demanding filaments such as ABS this accessory is for you.


All components are mounted on the bottom side of the board to make full use of the entire heat surface of the bed.
Thermistor: NTCS0805E3104FXT
The bed comes with a thermistor fitted and two convenient pads to solder a 2 lead cable to connect to your electronics.
Solder pads on the bottom side of the bed
2 LEDs will show your board's activity while heating. The LEDs are also mounted on the rear of the board and two small windows will show the light on your print surface.

We recommend that you don't print directly on the board and install a small glass over it.
If you like the heatbed, check it out on our on-line store.
Let's Play.

SAV 3D LCD

The SAV 3D LCD the perfect companion for your SAV MkI.

The SAV 3D LCD is an open source LCD with rotary encoder with click button and 2 push buttons to control your LCD. It allows the control of a 3D printer running Marlin firmware and a SAV MkI, sanguinololu, printrboard or similar electronics directly without having to have a computer connected.

The module connects to the main controller using a 14 wire ribbon cable using a 3M box connector. The LCD has been tested with a 1.5m ribbon cable without glitches
The LCD module comes with an expansion module to connect directly to the SAV MkI. Not only does it allow you to connect the SAV with the LCD backpack but it also expands the control to an external 5V device such as a servo for auto-bed levelling. The device's 5V supply comes from a dedicated voltage regulator, this will avoid any interference caused by it (servo) with your board's 5V supply rail.
The entire LCD is controlled using 2 wires through a Shift Register (SR) interface, the rotary encoder has filtered outputs and relying on the internal AVR pull-ups.
The LCD is a derivative of electroFUN’s Shift Register LCD (SR LCD) which uses only 2 wires to control the LCD, however with the right library (New LiquidCrystal library by fmalpartida) is 4 times faster than the stock LCD driver.

SAV MkI - 3D printer electronics

NOW IN STOCK
The SAV MkI RevD is your perfect entry level 3D printer controller board.



This open source 3D printer board electronics has been designed and developed using all the great contributions and feedback from the RepRap CloneWars group in Spain. All shortcomings from other similar boards have been addressed providing an affordable yet feature rich 3D printer electronics. The result, the SAV MkI.
We have addressed the main problems and functionality limitations that equivalent electronics have:
  • No more heat sinks or fans to keep the hotend and heatbed FETs cold.
  • High speed native USB connectivity going up to 8Mbps
  • Builtin uSD reader for autonomous printing
  • Bluetooth dongle interface (dongle not provided, tested with HC-05 and HC-06) with level adapter built in for wireless operation.
  • Direct connection of an inductive or capacitive sensor for auto bed levelling.
  • Designed and Made in Europe.
This is your one stop electronics to get your 3D printer up and running; simply connect and you are ready to print. Small, high performance, feature rich and affordable.

You can read its features and specifications on its RepRap wiki page:
http://reprap.org/wiki/SAV_MKI

The board loads Marlin by default:

ELFSHL1 - Stepper shield



Product retired
The ELFSHL1 is compact carrier board/shield and when connected to 3 ELFDRV3 makes it the most compact and cost effective solution to drive a CNC machine. Its modular design makes it a versatile, flexible and maintainable solution that can discreetly drive any entry level and semi-professional 3 axis CNC machine. The whole driving solution (controller, shield and driver) will fit in a 60mm x 60mm x 60mm cube.

vinciDuino evo uSD

The vinciDuino evo uSD is here. Is a clean room implementation of the Arduino Leonardo platform with a twist, and a complete USB-based microcontoller development system and on-board micro SD card reader. Throw away that FTDI cable and go native-USB and get rid of that SD card adapter module. Plug it in, connect a mini-B USB cable and you can start writing code immediately. With the built-in AVR bootloader or with FLIP you don't even need an AVR programmer.

The board is compatible with current Arduino boards and shields like the vinciDuino. It has the same form factor of the Arduino Pro with the same pinout mapping as any Arduino. Programming couldn't be easier, it is fully compatible with Arduino's IDE when choosing Leonardo as your board.

The board has the same features as the vinciDuino but with a nice uSD connector at the back ready to use. 

THEY ARE HERE: 
Orders will start to ship as early as January.

Board Ideas and history
This board was designed by enthusiasts of the Spanish Arduino forum (link) being electroFUN one of its main creators. If you like the link or the board don't hesitate in supporting us by buying one or dropping us a line in the forum link.

SR LCD


Need more pins on your project to control your LCD? Do you need more MIPs on your LCD project too?
The ShiftRegister LCD (SR LCD) is fast, reliable and saves pins on your projects.

With the SR LCD you can control standard character LCDs using just 2 pins, and you can do that almost 5 times faster than what you would with standard LiquidCrystal library.
We agree that LCDs look great on projects, they are very common, and fantastic at reporting back visually. However, they need a large amount of pins to control them, plus an additional pin for the backlight. Why sacrifice their usage on your next or existing project?

vinciDuino evo Proto


The vinciDuino is evolving! If you liked the vinciDuino why not try out the evo Proto. It is a clean room implementation of the Arduino Leonardo platform, and a complete USB-based microcontoller development system.

The board is compatible with current Arduino boards and shields; it has the same pinout mapping as any Arduino. So dive into the Arduino Leonardo and start prototyping your projects with the vinciDuino evo Proto.
