Ramps(RepRap Arduino Mega Pololu Shield) 1.4 is a very popular controller board used in DIY 3D printers. It is possible to use this board with all tha boards contains Arduino Mega's pinout.

This board is very ideal if you are looking for a controller to make your own 3D printer or to change your printer's controller. Ramps has reached so many users for its opensource design info and this made it more developed in time.

Reprap, Mendel and Prusa compatible Ramps allows control of 5 seperate stepper motor.

It is possible to use 5 A4988 motor driver board to control these stepper motors. The products does not include motor drivers. Ramps supports 5 different stepper motors; 1 for X axis, 1 for Y axis, 2 for Z axis and 2 for extruders. Additionally, it has 3 heater outs and 3 limit-switch inputs. Lastly, wiring of the Ramps compatible LCD screen is fulfilled by the particular connector on the board.
