First of all, i would like to wish to every one a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year 2013 !!!
I finished testing the RUMBA board and i am ready to start the production, but before i am starting i posted it in Indiegogo to see how is the response on my new board. Below is the Indiegogo link, for those who are interested in ordering one.
The shipping of the boards starts actualy from 10th of January 2013, even the indiegogo campaign is not finished.
The board can be odered till the campaign ends, ONLY via the INDIEGOGO link posted below. After it has been funded i will post the files of the project in RepRap WIKI and in my forum: Reprapdiscount Forums
I will use for shipping, as usual, FedEx and shipping is FREE, but only for the orders via Indiegogo.
The New RUMBA Board starts from 69 USD FREE shipping by FedEx

I will list the features below, please feel free to ask in case you have any questions, please keep on topic and use this thread only to ask questions about the RUMBA board
RUMBA (R.eprap U.niversal M.ega B.oard with A.llegro driver)
===============================================
* compact size
- leght 135mm
- width 75mm
* available in 2 colors
- white
- black
* fully integrated all in one solution
- Arduino 2560-R3 compatible (works with Sprinter, Repetier, Marlin out of the box)
(easy to change/flash firmware for end user)
- ATmega16U2 (with enhanced firmware) for high speed USB serial connection (up to 2MBit)
* UNIVERSAL POWER:
- can be used with 12V-35V for motors / heated bed
- integrated high precision power regulators for:
- 12V (FAN/Light/...)
and
- 5V (ATmega2560/Logic)
- power input selector for ATmega/logic (stand alone or power from USB)
* easy DISPLAY + SD-CARD connector
- RepRapDiscount SmartController compatible pin header on board
* up to 6 motor driver with easy micro stepping setup (micro switches)
- TRIPLE extruder
or
- DUAL Z driver and DUAL extruder
or
- ...
* 5x temperature ADC connectors
- e.g. 3x extruder thermistor + 1x heated bed thermistor + 1x chamber thermistor
* 5x PWM capable power mosfet outputs (3 with voltage selector for MainPower/12V)
- e.g. 3x (MainPower) extruder heater cartridge/power resistor + 1x (12V) fan + 1x (12V) light
* 1x PWM capable power mosfet with extended cooling area for heated bed
* 6x end stop connectors with power supply
- Xmin/Xmax/Ymin/Ymax/Zmin/Zmax
- can be used for mechanical, opto, hall, ... end stops
* screw terminals *and* pin header for easy motor connection
- can be used with existing 4 pin Molex plug on motor cable
- easy to attach cables without plug
* USB connector and pin header
- pin header is useful when mounting in a small box
* Power and ALL unused pins available on EXP-3 feature connector
- +5V and +12V
- 2x ADC
- 2x PWM I/O
- 4x I/O
- I2C
* full JTAG support
- JTAG can be used during full operation (no shared pins)
(easy to develop/debug new or optimized firmware using Atmel Studio)
