The $90 LulzBot Mini 32-bit/LCD/Trinamic/WiFi Conversion: Is it possible?
BigTreeTech recently sent me some boards to play around with.
I am pretty excited about the BTT002 V1.0. This is an inexpensive 32-bit board that is the same size as Mini-Rambo and is loaded with features:
Four replaceable TMC 2209 Trinamic drivers
A 168MHz ARM Cortex M4 32-bit processor
A header for a WiFi module
It is originally meant for the Prusa i3 MK3S, but I think I should be able to get it to work with the original LulzBot Mini. The total cost should come in at under $90 for an upgrade that gives you a graphical controller, 32-bits, Trinamic drivers and WiFi capabilities.
Is this even possible? As I find out whether it is, my Patreon supporters will be the first to know! Stay tuned!
Attached are some notes with my preliminary research.
July Drunken Octopus Firmware Release: Quiet Down TAZ; New Builds
This release will make the TAZ controller fan a bit quieter by setting CONTROLLERFAN_SPEED_IDLE to 120
It also adds a few additional builds in the Patreon only archive:
Added TAZ6Archim with CecropiaSilk
Added TAZ6ArchimBLTouch with CecropiaSilk
Added TAZ6ArchimBLTouch withAchemonSphinx
There is also an experimental build for a Mini with an BTT002 board, but this has not been tested so I don't recommend using it yet.
Just wanted to let you guys know this was something I was working of for future DO releases.
