Phi Mainboard 5LC: ESP-32 Based Open Source 3D Printer Controller

Posted on 8 January, 20228 January, 2022 by DM

Around a decade ago, 3D printers were bulky, expensive machines only used by industries and not available for a large group of people except professionals. 3D printing technology has come a long way since then. But with the open-source movement, 3D printers are now affordable for makers, designers, engineers, hobbyists, and even students. With 3D printers, anyone now can craft their personalized designs. It’s a perfect gadget for a maker or a 3D printing enthusiast. Nowadays, some affordable 3D printers can provide printing quality that looks like professional 3D printing. As a result, 3D printers are now more popular than ever.

Well, it’s fairly easy to start your way into additive manufacturing. But the first thing you will need, besides a good 3D printer, is a 3D printer controller. The controller board is responsible for all the logic behind 3D printing. It takes care of things such as parsing G-code files, regulating temperature, and most importantly, controlling FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) and stepper motors. Nowadays, 3D printing hardware comes with advanced features like 1/256 micro-stepping, UART Mode, and Wi-Fi, among others.

Likha Labs recently announced their open-source ESP32 based 3D printer controller, which comes with built-in Wi-Fi and Ethernet. On their CrowdSupply page, they described it as a 3D printer controller with a focus on network connectivity. Their controller is called Phi Mainboard 5LC, and it provides a web interface that one can use to interact with the 3D printer over a local network. Therefore, you will no longer need a single-board computer like a Raspberry Pi. The web interface allows uploading G-code files, configuration settings, starting jobs, controlling the device, and monitoring printing. Overall, this hardware saves money and simplifies your setup.

It is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM module and a SAM E51 microcontroller. The ESP32 handles networking, data storage, USB communication, and displays. And the microcontroller takes care of all motion and real-time controls in a 3D printer. This ensures that controlling the printer and networking happens parallelly, and one process doesn’t bog down the other.

The hardware supports a wide range of displays, stepper drivers, and other hardware peripherals like filament monitors, thermocouples, accelerometers, etc. Adding to its flexibility, Phi can also be used to drive other digital fabrication equipment, such as CNC machines.

NXP IW612 Tri-Radio Device Supporting Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2 and ZigBee

Posted on 8 January, 20228 January, 2022 by Abhishek Jadhav

CES has always been interesting for tech enthusiasts looking for some next-generation high technologically advanced products. In regards to IoT and wireless communication, NXP showcased IW612 as the industry’s first secure tri-radio device which can now support Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and 802.15.4 technical standards. NXP had a similar single-chip device by the name of IW416 which supported Wi-Fi 4 and Bluetooth 5.2. Taking the bar towards innovation, IW612 features an efficient power management system that comes with deep-sleep and low-power modes.

Focusing more on wireless connectivity, the single-chip aims to work in industrial applications like smart homes and smart appliances other than industrial automation and gateways. As published in the internal block diagram, the manufacturer decided to integrate dedicated and independent CPUs for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth wireless communication protocols. There are single and dual antenna configurations available in the production. This has enabled real-time and independent protocol processing. An external host processor can be interfaced through SDIO 3.0 for Wi-Fi while UART for Bluetooth and SPI for 802.15.4.

As mentioned earlier, the chip features a full Wi-Fi subsystem which is powered by the NXP’s 802.11ax technology that aims to bring better network efficiency while reducing the latency and improving the range. Wi-Fi interestingly features 802.11az accurate range technology which was part of IEEE802.11mc standard release. This takes advantage of several improvements done to the 802.11ax Wi-Fi standard.

Bluetooth enables hands-free and advanced audio distribution production for audio streaming. The low-energy configuration of Bluetooth supports 2 Mbit/s data speed for medium-to-long rate communication. Furthermore, IW612 also integrates the support for Thread and Zigbee mesh network in 2.4 GHz band frequency. However, it comes at the cost of a shared transmitter and antenna pin with the Bluetooth subsystem.

Through the massive integration of several wireless communication subsystems, the single-chip is claimed to have a very low system cost through a minimum external BOM. For more details on the NXP IW612 tri-radio device, visit the product page.

TinyOLEDdemo – I²C OLED on an ATtiny10, ATtiny13A or ATtiny202

Posted on 5 January, 20225 January, 2022 by mixos

This is just a little demo on how to use an I²C OLED with the limited capabilities of an ATtiny10, ATtiny13A or ATtiny202 from Stefan Wagner @ github.com

Connect the OLED module to the ATtiny13A as shown below. The connections for the ATtiny10 are similar. For the ATtiny202 SDA must be connected to PA1 (pin 4) and SCL (or SCK) to PA2 (pin 5).

Since the I²C implementation for ATtiny10/13A is software-based, you can of course use any other I/O pins instead. Just change the relevant definitions in the code. The implementation for the ATtiny202 uses hardware TWI, so the pins provided for this must be used.
