Product Overview:
The BIGTREETECH Ramps 1.6 plus is an upgraded adapter ramps board designed to replace the old Ramps 1.6 driver. With the implementation of the SPI working mode, it solves the complex wiring problem of its predecessor.
Key Features:
- It uses the plug-and-play concept with the use of a jumper cap, eliminating the need for complex wiring and external wiring costs.
- It is designed to prevent the motor from malfunctioning due to wrong wire insertions and avoid drive failure because of poor external wire contact during the printing process.
- Built-in selection terminal on the PCB allows it to support both SPI and STEP/DIR modes.
- Power and heat bed parts use a 30A high current terminal, which greatly reduces the likelihood of burning terminal situations.
- Upgraded top and bottom overlay improves wire connection clarity.
- Inclusion of a reset expansion interface facilitates reset button extension.
- The X, Y, Z, E0, E1 interfaces all support parallel dual-motor boards.
- It utilizes a combination of color pin and row connectors, making each function interface distinct and aesthetically pleasing.
Included in the Package:
- Ramps 1.6 plus board
- Four TMC2130 DIY mode drivers
Operating Modes:
Ramps 1.6 plus supports SPI as well as STEP/DIR working modes. They can be chosen according to your requirement.
Precautions:
- The choice of driver working mode determines the firmware that needs to be programmed.
- When using a hotbed with power surpassing 140W, ensure to install a MOS radiator to avoid overheating and burning.
- In case of a hotbed power exceeding 180W, choose a hotbed MOS module to minimize the risk of board damage.
- Maintain the power off condition while plugging or unplugging the drive to avoid incorrect installations and hence, possible drive damage.
Driver Installation Skills:
Ensure to align the driver’s GND/DIRECTION to the board’s GND/DIR for proper functionality.
