    Hi Canaldin,

    It appears that my previous reply didn’t make it, sorry.

    You want the numbers in Grey on that diagram.

    By “machine configuration” do you mean the setting of the machine that the board is going into, or a new motherboard or shield?

    For a new motherboard or shield, https://github.com/synthetos/g2/wiki/Adding-a-new-G2-board-(or-revision)-to-G2 should help. (Adding a new shield is similar to adding a whole new board, and so they’re both on the same back.)

    For adding a new machine (as in the machine that the board is going into) you want the settings — create a new file in the settings directory (probably by copying one that’s already there) and then in settings.h change which one is included. These are all settings that can be changed at runtime, btw, but the Due doesn’t have any EEPROM, so they’re not saved.

    Hi Guys,

    So G2 can theoretically drive the RAPMS-FD. It is designed to handle the 3.3V logic.

    The Motate pin numbers are essentially the same as those on the silk screen, so mapping the pins shouldn’t be too hard. Adding the new board type is described on the wiki here: https://github.com/synthetos/g2/wiki/Adding-a-new-G2-board-(or-revision)-to-G2

    One thing to note is that, currently, TinyG (and G2) does not have the ability to drive temperature. It can handle motion, but not the extruder or head bed. It’s just a matter of software, and everything you need should be in Motate already. It just hasn’t been written — yet.
