Product Overview:
The GT2560 is a compact, highly-integrated control board, designed with the powerful capabilities of the Mega2560 Ultimaker. It replaces the Mega2560 Ultimaker in both software and hardware aspects while offering premium features such as consolidated interfaces for hassle-free usage and optimally arranged components for easier mounting and space-saving.
Product Highlights:
- Combines the strengths of the Mega2560 Ultimaker and the Mega2560+ramps 1.4 kit providing not only a replacement but a compact, sturdier, and more convenient option.
- Utilizes the ATmega2560 as the chief control chip with a high-performance USB serial converter FT232RQ.
- Features dual power supply design with a 12V-24V operating voltage for the heatbed and logical part separately.
- Main circuit possesses SMD fuse tube, diode for reverse protection to circuits, and a 500mA Recoverable fuse for USB port protection.
- Provides three 12v fan outputs and one PWM output for auxiliary lighting.
- Supports five A4988 stepper drivers for X/Y/Z axis and extruders, with a dial-switch setup for easier operation.
- Accepts three temperature sensor inputs (recommend 100k thermistor).
- Comes with extended LCD and SD card interfaces for PC-independent printing.
- Preinstalled with reliable Marlin firmware for stable, efficient performance.
