Extensive OS / Architecture Support

Raspberry Pi Support

Fully supported through Raspbian OS. Following features only supported on Raspberry Pi.

Direct control
PWM shutter control
GPIO

Windows / Mac / Linux Support

Portable version for Windows, Mac and Linux desktop OSes.

Easier to setup.

Extensive Architecture

Theoretically supports large number of hardware platforms.

ARM (32 and 64bit), Intel x86 and AMD64 architectures
Mini boards such as Edison, Cubie, Orange, Odroid and Jetso

View Engines

OpenGL

Uses OpenGL to display layers on Windows and Linux (with desktop environment).

Framebuffer and BCM Host

For Linux without X11. Uses BCM Host for Raspberry Pi and framebuffer on other hardwares.

Resolution

Calibration images, slicer and other functionalities fully compatible with any resolution including 2K/4K/8K UHD.

NanoDLP running on Raspberry Pi is capable of 4K.

Extensive Hardware Support

Primary Hardwares

Supports both direct control of the hardwares through GPIO pins or through any gcode or binary code compatible boards.

Direct Control

Currently supports below hardware through Raspberry Pi GPIOs.

Any stepper driver by step/directions pins
Endstop switch support
Any low voltage servo motors for shutters
True/False pulse for shutters

3rd Party Boards

You can control many 3rd party boards through both i2c and serial terminal. Currently supported boards:

Marlin boards
grbl boards
Trinamics drivers with serial port

SLS Support

In addition to SLA/DLP/LCD printer support. NanoDLP could drive SLS printers.

Touch Screen Support

Directly support Nextion HMI displays. Using HMI, NanoDLP could be controlled without any additional device, just use touch panel.

RAMPS Support

GCode with Variables

You can send GCode or binary codes before and after each print and each layer.

Variables
Math Operations
Delay and Pause
Conditionals
Binary Codes
Total Solid Area and Largest Area

Syncronize Movements

Synchronizing movements with marlin/grbl boards by watching for their responses.

Position Tracking / Crash Recovery

By delegating positioning to NanoDLP, crash recovery for RAMPS users become possible.

Communication

Two-way Communication

Not only call external programs and hardwares, but also process their responses.

Terminal

It is possible to use Terminal to communicate with any i2c or serial devices.

Communication with external programs

Before and after each layer you can call any external program (bash, python and etc) with arguments, and receive the result and use result in your gcode. Also control GPIO pins using gcode is possible.
