After very long time I decided to update a bit ReCube and make it more automatic. ReCube now is able to detect cartridge type and basis on it use appropriate secure key during memory operation. Additionally I changed schematic to be more readable. Some of you do not use KiCad so I decided that schematic…
ReCube: Ekocycle version
Hello after long brake. I have new and fresh version of ReCube Light which probably is especially interesting for Ekocycle users. Firmware for ReCube Ekocycle version is available here: ReCubeEkocycle Thanks to Ari for support during testing 😉 He found also that in my PCB design there is one error which could lead to wrong…

First is for general cartridge info (max amount, material and color type) second is for current filament amount status. For me more interesting…

There are some defined pairs which could exist together and some are not possible. In next post I will describe all possibilities. Because Cube3 have the same PCB board like Cube Pro…

Actually all this logs was also visible via UART terminal. So when I went to function which called this log file,…
