SCARA Robot - want to know if DUET WIFI is the right choice
-
Hello all ,
I have built a Scara robot similar to JJRobots , with improved design modifications- for testing only. Once I have a board that can
Make it work , I will port it to a more high end build SCARA.
I have tried using marlin firmware to control it, but I never succeed
I am using an Ultimaker 2 controller board to run the motors and end stops only .For now. It can home the arms when I use pronterface but after that it goes
Crazy , I have tried several times, changing home offsets, scara offsets, but never work according to my setup. I give up. !
I want to know if I should get the Duet wifi for my SCARA .
I am already using the DUET wifi for my printer and I am very pleased.
I came across the Scarlett SCARA , and I noticed he’s using the DUET and works fine. I have attached a TOP VIEW with some dimensions of the SCARA and a picture, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks !

As @Phaedrux says. Serial SCARA has been supported in RepRapFirmware for more than 2 years. I described some of my experiences with running a serial SCARA 3D printer using a Duet and RepRapFirmware at https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/2017/08/27/converting-the-robotdigg-scara-printer-to-duet-electronics/ and in the preceding and following post.
