Description
These are the official Eagle electronics CAD files (schematics and board layout) used in the Ultimaker 3D printer. Included as an XLS is the BOM with several part numbers as exported from Eagle.
Older versions of the electronics were published on the RepRap wiki:
- reprap.org/wiki/Ultimaker%27s_v1.5.4_PCB
- reprap.org/wiki/Ultimaker%27s_v1.5.3_PCB
- reprap.org/wiki/Ultimaker%27s_v1.3_PCB
- reprap.org/wiki/Ultimaker%27s_v1.2_PCB
- reprap.org/wiki/Ultimaker%27s_v1.1_PCB
- reprap.org/wiki/Ultimaker%27s_v1.0_PCB
Documentation of the electronics is also on the RepRap wiki.
The electronics contain concepts from RAMPS predecessors, mostly as first seen from Adrian Bowyer's work. The initial version is based on work by jjshortcut. Subsequent improvements by: Siert Wijnia (Ultimaker) and Erik de Bruijn (Ultimaker).

Instructions
The Ultimaker instructions normally come pre-assembled with an Ultimaker. If you use these files to make your own version, please see the documentation linked above at the RepRap wiki.
For instructions on how to mount and connect it to the Ultimaker 3D printer:
wiki.ultimaker.com/Ultimaker_rev.3_assembly:_Mounting_the_electronics
At the moment of publishing it is the most current version of the Ultimaker electronics.
Changes compared to the 1.5.5 and 1.5.4 version are:
- The Arduino Mega 2560 can be self-powered from the DC-jack.
- Jumper added for controlling autonomous power setting
- 100 uF connection to Vcc2
- High-current track from DC jack and ON/OFF switch moved slightly
- Better suiting the footprint of the rocker switch
Marlin firmware compatibility is unaffected by this updated PCB.
These electronics are designed to be used in conjunction with the UltiController, which features a click-encoder for easy control, a screen for monitoring and file selection, and an SD-card slot for printing without a computer attached.

Yes, 1.5.5 was never produced, so its publication is of limited use. We bumped it because we made more changes.
The BOM is now added too.

Nice job Erik :) (it was a long wait ;-))
The "Included as an XLS is the BOM" is missing tough ;-)
And I guess the 1.5.5 was an interal update? (As I have never seen those in the wild)

I am looking for the schematics for my Ultimaker and cannot find them. I have a 1.5.7 board. Are those schematics posted somewhere else?
