I am new to RepRap and want to build a Prusa Mendel. But I am confused about the controller electronics used in it. Please tell me how many micro controllers are actually used, which parts they control and how is the interfacing done?

translation: I haven't done any research, give me answers!

1 micro controller. It controls the entire reprap. Steppers, serial port, heaters, thermistors, endstops the works

Also has a usb to serial converter so you can connect it to your pc.

Take a look at a standard ramps wiring diagram http://reprap.org/wiki/File:Rampswire14.svg
