Where can I learn about Ultimaker Firmware and control software ?

[Gurtaj89 1]

Hi,

Can someone please point me to a good source of information for understanding the common firmware used in 3D printers especially in Ultimaker. I wan to know it from the point of view of how Gcode is run and the actions of various motors and heating elements controlled.

Thanks a lot.

A good start would be the RepRapWiki, perhaps the "Marlin firmware user guide for beginners" (if you like).

At last but not least... the sourcecode:

This is the Marlin version from Ultimaker for the UM2+ printers.
