Overview

The MKS BASE-L is a feature rich all-in-one electronics solution for Reprap and other CNC devices. It features an onboard ATmega2560 SoC. Its five motor outputs are powered by HR4982 stepper drivers. The board can use the same firmware as Ramps1.4. MKS BASE-L is designed to be flexible in the user's power source availability, allowing any power supply from 12V to 24V.

MKS BASE-L is suitable for 3D printer manufacturers on batch production, and being used as main control board. Relative to the Ramps1.4, it adds E1 heating output which can also be used for independent Z motors and additional fans.

MKS BASE-L  is  suitable for dual-Extruder machine.

Comparison with MKS BASE

1. Uses CH340 USB to Serial converter instead of FT232
2. Uses MXT2596 DC to DC converter
3. Uses integrated HR4982 stepper drivers
