Have you ever worried about your tool board emitting magic smoke due to user mistakes or getting damaged by 3D printer faults? Well, with the Orbitool SO3, those worries are a thing of the past! We're all hobbyists and professionals who make mistakes. But when the magic smoke appears, it's always a letdown. This tool board is designed to keep that magic smoke tightly contained.
The Orbitool SO3 comes with amazing smokeless features. It's optimized for the shape and features of Orbiter v3, powered by a 48MHz STM32F042 microcontroller. It offers automotive USB communication with Raspberry PI, an onboard LIS2DW12 accelerometer, a TMC22009 extruder stepper driver, and more. It also has a direct connection to the SO3 integrated board, 1x PWM controlled fan outputs, and a DC - DC converter based Hot - end fan driver that's compatible with 12/24V fan types and has an RPM speed input signal.
In terms of protection, it's top - notch. It has active short - circuit protection for the Hot - end output and fan driver outputs. There's also protection against reverse power supply connection, loss of GND supply, and short circuits in various parts like analogue and digital inputs, USB data lines, and RGB LED power supply pins. It even has EMI interference and ESD protection on all inputs and outputs, along with heater and thermal runaway protection.

Using the LDO Orbitool SO3 Toolboard Kit is quite straightforward. First, make sure it's properly connected to your Orbiter v3 and Raspberry PI according to the provided instructions. The automotive USB communication will help it work smoothly with your setup.
When it comes to the fans, connect them to the appropriate outputs and set the PWM control as needed. The Hot - end fan driver is compatible with 12/24V fans, so choose the right one for your system.
For temperature sensors, you can use either standard NTC or PT1000 types. Just connect them to the corresponding inputs.
Here are some important notes. Always double - check the power supply connections to avoid reverse power supply issues. The board has protection features, but it's still better to be careful. Also, when handling the board, be aware of electrostatic discharge (ESD). It has ESD protection, but you can minimize the risk by using anti - static equipment.
For maintenance, keep the board clean and free from dust. Check the connections regularly to ensure they're secure. If you notice any issues, refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual or contact the manufacturer's support team.
