- where can I buy latest smoothieboard and ship it to Puerto Rico (I p...lan to travel there next week) as expedited shipment? I´ve sent and email to MArk today but no answer. I need the board (4), drivers (5 per board I think) and also nema motors (3 packs of 10pcs if possible) and a lcd for each board. Can you send me a quotation for the boards and rest of things if possible to be shipped asap to Puerto Rico (staying there from 17 to 23th) Thanks!!!! See more

Hello everybody !
The Smoothie project is organizing a contest in which you have the opportunity to participate in a great Open-Source project, and to win a Smoothieboard.
What’s a Smoothie ?...
The Smoothie project’s objective is to design a controller board and associated firmware, with the following goals : all Open-Source, simple to use and configure, using powerful hardware, feature-rich, and contributor-friendly.
We want to showcase the fact that the Firmware is particularly easy to contribute to and add things to, that’s why we are doing this contest.
How does the contest work ?
You enter the contest by presenting an idea for a project. The project idea must involve the Smoothie firmware or board, and make the Smoothie project better for everybody in some way. Note, you don’t need to actually do the project to enter the contest, you just need your idea to be selected. Then when the contest deadline is over ( February 15th 2015 ), we will choose 30 project ideas, and send one Smoothieboard 5XC to each selected project. Then we expect everybody to actually use their Smoothieboard to implement their project idea.
Where can I learn more ?
There is a website at http://smoothiecontest.org, with project ideas to help inspire you, all of the contests’ rules, and a list of the contest entries so far.
You can also email me directly at wolf.arthur@gmail.com if you have any question.
Cheers all, can’t wait to see what kind of stuff you’ll propose !
Check out Tom's review of the Smoothieboard ! Share it around and spread the word smile emoticon
Sebastien created a script to convert G-code files with canned-cycle drilling operations into normal G-code so you can use those files with a Smoothieboard. Super useful. Yay ! https://github.com/lautr3k/CCDCC.js
Skarab made a nice box for his Smoothieboard : https://plus.google.com/11127078203753770…/posts/KQRD58nrNTc

Smoothie with Wolf Arthur and Mark Cooper.
Maker Faire Rome was awesome! It is always great to get to meet more of the maker community. Well, now we are coming into the last weekend of the Kickstarter. Time for one more big push to get the word out and we can hit $100k!
OMG! Kickstarter selected Smoothie their daily Staff Pick AND we've been featured on hackaday.com! Thanks so much to both groups: It's a great honor to have been selected!
Huzzah! We made it to our goal in less than 48 hours! We couldn't have done that without the help of everyone who has backed the project so far. smile emoticon
Having made it here so quickly we are working on some stretch goals right now. We have several ideas right now ranging from new code features and extra documentation to making Smoothiepanels available to backers. Right now none of the details are hashed out yet but more info will be made available in the coming days.
S...oon here, Arthur and I will be getting ready to head out for Rome! We will be working a booth at the first Maker Faire Rome (http://www.makerfairerome.eu/) so if you can make it make sure to stop by. We would love to meet you!
Thanks again for your support in helping Smoothie become the future of cnc motion control!
The Kickstarter has reach 50% funding in a bit over 6 hours!! Thanks so much everyone who has pledged so far. Make sure your friends know and keep it coming we'll be there soon! smile emoticon
