Megatronics

The Megatronics electronics board has been a popular, well established model in the 3D printer industry for many years now. After several years and iterations, version 3.1 has established a proven track record with a rich and stable feature set. Megatronics is the first choice for many DIY 3D printer enthusiasts as well as professional 3D printer manufacturers because of its hightly configurable design and good quality components. Compared to other 3D printer electronics, Megatronics is the only single-board solution with a combination of efficient form factor, redundant processing power and good quality components. Although the board has been optimized for controlling 3D printers, the flexibility of the board also allows you to use the board in CNC machines for milling, drilling, laser cutting and more.

The board comes with a powerful Atmega2560 microprocessor having 256 kB memory and running at 16Mhz. The microprocessor can be programmed using the Arduino IDE, and you can easily upload software modified to fit your specific requirements using a simple USB cable. It has 54 digital i/o pins and 16 analog pins connected to the various components on the board, giving you the ability to enhance existing software to solve specific use cases. Existing software (firmware) can be downloaded from our software downloads page, which may need to be customized to your specific machine. Our current default recommendation is Marlin, but all major open source 3D printer firmware supports Megatronics.
