Exciting progress by Jim Morris on porting Smoothie v2 firmware to the new STM32H7 chip: buff.ly/2Wfgr2c

Anyone in the Smoothie community knows Haskell, and looking for a job, please contact me: wolf.arthur@gmail.com

This image (buff.ly/35EwMiC) in the latest Hackaday post (buff.ly/3wGYQNT) fondly reminds me of the "ants" illustrations Celine did for the Smoothieboard v1 Kickstarter (buff.ly/3wHYNBG and see the illustrations in the video itself).

Over the years, a few people have asked for the ability to disable the feature that renders laser power proportional to movement speed/acceleration. This is now controllable via both a config option and a M-code. See buff.ly/3gDRSCw

Braving the worldwide chip shortage, Robosprout has finally managed to produce a batch of v1 Smoothieboard. Last batch to be sold at the traditional price until the end of the shortage/price hike, so get yours now if you need one! buff.ly/3g6qluF

TADA ! buff.ly/3yyAasl Jim has been working very hard on this new port of Smoothie v2, to an *even* nicer chip, to work around the current worldwide chip shortages that were freezing progress of the v2 project. See how much nicer the chip is at buff.ly/3yCUKI4

Jim Morris (wolfmanjm) just implemented RTC support for the filesystem in Smoothie v2 (on top of support for NTP). Now file changes will have the right timestamps, allowing for proper sorting and track-keeping. Really cool new v2 feature! Hardware/cell battery support coming too!

This is not properly Smoothie-related, but I find it so exciting I feel compelled to share it here anyway: buff.ly/3vMvPQ0

Due to Covid's effect on business/chip supply, I am working for Wire (buff.ly/10Pb2ZB). They are a very cool company that does Open-Source work and helps protect privacy and provides tools for journalists/freedom people. Please vote for them at buff.ly/3vihb2U !

*VERY* cool project by Chris of Robosprout: buff.ly/2R198J6 . The Smoothie v1-core is a v1-based version of the v2-core (One in the planned series of v2 Smoothieboards, see buff.ly/3sNaHax ). Loves/interfaces both πs and Gadgeteer (buff.ly/2ZgyYs6)

This has been hitting us *so* hard. Update about it soon, the situation gets turned upside down so often, that I keep having to rewrite the message to the community about it: buff.ly/2QOyjOA

This is a very neat fellow Kickstarter campaign: buff.ly/3mjABkL

We want to improve Pick And Place support in Smoothie. If you have an scratch-built or refurbished/able PnP machine, and want to upgrade it to Smoothieboard, email wolf.arthur@gmail.com so we can help you, and learn about things to improve in the process. Cheers!

It's a bit odd that Smoothie isnt even mentioned on Wikipedia's Reprap page buff.ly/3djJQNI but completely obscure alternatives are (also it mixes firmwares&software). I can't really be objective in modifying it, but if there are any other Wikipedians, maybe look into it?

Anyone in the Smoothie community works at one of the in-space 3D printing companies, or one of the rocket-part 3D printing companies, or one of the reusable rocket companies, etc? I'm looking for a job, I'll take anything I find but I'd rather one of these. wolf.arthur@gmail.com

Want some stepper drivers? Cheap, negociable, helps the Smoothie project. buff.ly/3rtd5T9

Really cool Smoothieboard-powered Pick and Place ( OpenPNP ) machine. Mak&Dream is apparently working on making a full kit, which would be really nice for people looking at building OpenPNP setups without the usual improvisation/learning needed. buff.ly/3r4f1Bu

Smoothie in a paper on science-direct, about a pretty cool project. Neat! buff.ly/3pSyoNe

@se_eggert Hey, I'm Arthur from the Smoothie project. If you ever need help with anything Smoothie-related don't hesitate to ask/email, really love your project, working on somewhat-related stuff and really excited to see what you have been doing. Keep it up!

(10/n) Building upon @OpenBuilds hardware, @Smoothieware controller and the @opentrons API, this project demonstrates the power of open-source for laboratory automation. Thanks for sharing and empowering the community!
