The Smoothieboards are numerical fabrication controllers designed to run the Open-Source Smoothieware firmware, by a community of volunteers.

They come into a range of different versions, with different feature sets and advantages.

All Smoothieboards are designed to run on the most powerful hardware in their price range at the time of their conception, to be easy to expand for new and adventurous uses, to be easy to develop on, and to be simple to use for normal users.

This page lists the different boards, you can find more information in each Smoothieboard's dedicated page :





v1 Smoothieboard v1 has been the first released Smoothieboard and has received several updates. It has gone from an experimental project to a widely used and acclaimed system. It features : 32-bit Cortex-M3 LPC1769 with 512kB flash and 64kB RAM

Much more Currently being designed, see here.

Because v2 is being developed by awesome volunteers, we have no timetable or planned release date, so please stop asking.







v2-mini A minimalistic version of the v2 board, designed to be as inexpensive as possible. It's essentially just enough to run a 3D printer with no heated bed, a small laser cutter or a CNC router, while still giving you the v2 experience. No extra goodies. It will feature : 32-bit Cortex-M4 LPC4330 with 8MB of flash, 264kB of RAM, and a M0 co-processor

4 Heroic drivers with 1/128 microstepping

Thermistors and mosfets to control heaters and fans

USB-B ( to computer )

SD card with fast access

Standard expansion ports with a series of plug-and-play boards

Not much more

You have to solder the connectors yourself Currently being designed, see here. Because v2 is being developed by awesome volunteers, we have no timetable or planned release date, so please stop asking.
