When switching peltiers between heat/cool mode you can get some really high currents. You may want to include some current feedback and perhaps limit your PWM during switching, or just keep it from doing that with your PID. On Wednesday, November 1, 2017 at 11:04:36 AM UTC-4, Daren Schwenke

The perceived lack of performance of Axis on the BBB is due to software rendering. It's not a memory constraint. The hardware acceleration of graphics is broken in the earlier kernels, which is what xenomai currently works on. Newer kernels use xenomai 3 (I believe) and we don't. The newer rt-p

The Cura plugin also requires you to create a machine that uses it. It's also made for velocity extrusion, so you would need to use a config that also uses velocity extrusion. It's one or the other. Then you will be outputting ngc files instead of gcode, and E/A will disappear. E/A will be r
