Arduino UNO + ramps 1.4

I am investigating about the compatibility that my Arduino Uno boards with Ramps 1.4 can have, I want to replace my Mega2560 module.

In this case, it is a 3d printer, so I had thought of putting an Arduino UNO, to take care of a particular engine.


Its viable?

Yes, but a pain in the butt... and not worth the effort (in my view)

It has insufficient memory, so cannot run marlin. You have to run Teacup

No support for any type of LCD not enough pins anyways even if firmware supported it.
Can't use E1, not enough pins

Can't just plug it in... most of the ramps pins that are hanging over the end have to go somewhere



You would also have to write your own pins.h file...
