A wee update on the electronics. <div><br></div><div>I mucked up the board I etched, I was never sure about the quality of it anyway. </div><div><br></div><div>However, Salvatore over at <a href="http://icanbuild.it">icanbuild.it</a> has kindly sent us a board for free, <a href="http://icanbuild.it/reprap/ramps-1-4-reprap-control-board/">http://icanbuild.it/reprap/ramps-1-4-reprap-control-board/</a>. He has also thrown in a stepstick board, I don't suppose anyone has the means for reflow soldering as it uses a QFN package? These have been shipped so I should hopefully have them for the meeting on Thursday and I will try my hardest to get the stepstick soldered somehow so we can test it with the motors that Keiren has bought. </div>
