Hey there, just had a brainwave about upgrading RAMPS 1.3 Board on a MDF Sumpod (1st revision) to RAMPS 1.4. Any benefits / known issues? What do you 'poders think?  Jam |

Hey Jam
Hmm, I don't see any reason for a change to RAMPS 1.4. As far as I am aware of, the functions are 100% identical. The 1.4 is merely a SMD version of the 1.3, nothing else. It's more a decision at first, if you want to solder or not. Richard decided for the 1.3, the reason being the cheaper price as it doesn't come assembled. When building a new printer, I would definitely go for a RAMPS 1.4 or for the brand new, next generation RAMBO board (http://reprap.org/wiki/Rambo). It has tons of new features, but you probably won't need them with your sumpod unless you plan to heavily alter the whole printer.
I hope, my sum up helps a little bit to get along in the reprap driver board jungle.
Andy
