BAM&DICE DUE for Arduino Due with Wifi

BAM&DICE DUE is the second board in the BAM&DICE family. This board is intended for the Arduino Due with 84Mhz for more processing power. It also contains the PCI-E slots like the normal BAM&DICE board for powerful stepper drivers and other extensions. It also has the ability to talk to a ESP8266 module for wifi connection.

What is the difference between BAM&DICE DUE and BAM&DICE?

As the Arduino Due works with 3.3V logic power, it is not compatible with the normal BAM&DICE. BAM&DICE DUE fixes this by providing the correct converters and FET drivers. Earlier extensions for BAM&DICE and RAMPS might not work with this board because of the different logic voltages. There is a new BAM&DICE smart controller available, which is able to work with 3.3V and 5V and can be used with all these boards.

Improvements of BAM&DICE DUE:

  • MOSFET drivers to make the power MOSFETs work correctly with 3.3V and 5V.
  • The usage of PCI-E connectors allows fast data exchange via RS232, I2C and SPI
  • PTC fuses have been replaced by automotive fuses
  • Most possible flexibility for Arduino based applications by enabling the parallel use of five DICEs instead of only stepper motor drivers
  • Connection port for a ESP8266 Wifi module to bring your board into the network

What can BAM&DICE DUE be used for?

While RAMPS was especially made for 3D printers, BAM&DICE DUE can be used for much more applications such as stronger mills, pick&place machines, robots, liquid handlers and prototyping equipment.

For every task a specific DICE:

  • Driving stepper motors using DICE-STK, DICE-TMC, DICE-L6470
  • Switching actuators using DICE-VN
  • Measure temperatures using DICE-TC
  • Set and get digital signals using DICE-9555

Can BAM&DICE DUE be used for a 3D printer?

Yes, it can be used as replacement for RAMPS or the normal BAM&DICE board. When using DICE-STKs as standard stepper motor drivers, the BAM-Shield offers about twice the motor power, compared to the common A4988 or TMC2100 stepper motor drivers. By replacing DICE-STK with other DICEs, even higher currents are possible.

Specifications BAM&DICE DUE shield

  • Supply voltage: +7V - +32V (over 12V only with DC/DC converter installed)
  • Logic-Voltage: 3.3V and +5V
  • Max. prim. current: 15A
  • Max. sec. current: 15A

Please consider that the values may change with the used DICE-Boards and extensions.

Thanks

Great thanks to Johnny Russell and all others, which developed the RAMPS up to version 1.41 and released the hardware with the GPLv3-License.

24V upgrade for BAM&DICE DUE

The simple solution

For the 24V upgrade you have to remove one part (D1) on the BAM-Shield. This is because the Arduino can not withstand voltages higher than 20V.

Then, you can apply higher voltages to the BAM-Shield without damaging your Arduino. The only disadvantage is, that you have to power the Arduino externally.

The sophisticated solution

If you don`t like the simple way, you can mount a DC/DC converter, e.g. the TSR 1-24120 from Traco. Use the following connections of the BAM-Shield.

and connect the TSR 1-24120 as follows

Now, your BAM&DICE DUE Shield is able to work with voltages from 15V up to 32V, and your Arduino will survive.
