32 bit 3D printing - What it means and when you need it

In the next video, I'll be doing a step by step guide to fitting an SKR V1.3 32 bit board to an Ender 3, but before that, I wanted to cover some background. This video explains what 32 bit means and why it is an upgrade over 8 bit Arduino compatible microcontrollers.

The concepts are simplified as much as possible and demonstrated with examples and diagrams. Hopefully this can help you understand why you would go through the hassle of setting up the software chain required for Marlin 2.0.

Take a look around and if you like what you see, please subscribe.

Hey Michael, I have been a software developer for 43 years. Usually whenever I see someone explain bit depth I see someone struggle, use confusing verbiage, or wanting to move on to another topic. On a few very rare occasions you see someone explaining it very well. You did it very well.

I would love to see a comparison between a 8bit system with klipper and a RPI and a 32bit board. To see how the 8bit board compares when the calculations are done on the rpi.

And as always a good and clear video. Keep it up

Very nicely done, Michael! This level of tutorial, first generic, then specific to 3D printers is just what the community needed. The level of information is perfect.

This is the best description of how a microprocessor works I have ever seen!

Just bought the same board for my Ender 3. Been putting off swapping it in, but there's no excuse now. Thanks for your hard work! Your channel is awesome.

4:50 if you already know what a bit is and want to skip to the part concerning 3D printers.

This is why your channel is called "Teching Tech" I learned a lot. Thank you so much for this outstanding Content. Greets from Germany!

Your description of binary was amazing

[terciofelipeoliveirafrance]

my friend you teach something i was not expecting, by the first time i really learn binare codification

I'm commenting only for thank you for such a good job doing videos, not only this one but every other videos. Nice work! Really helpful for newbies like me. I appreciate it a lot.

[dwaynehope]

I agree with Louis on this. you explained a very complex subject so easily and clearly.

[Mr.Laidukas]

Very easy to follow explanation! Easy to understand, I gues could be used even in schools. Great!

[megaobi]

I love the way you explain things
very clear, concise and easy to understand

We need 3d printer boards with 7 nm ZEN2 architecture, 64 cores and 8 ghz!

[alexschubert]

great video you are truly a great teacher in every definition of the word.
stay warm

Great topic and I really appreciate you guiding us into this new technology!

[iandawkins]

Another awesome video, going online now to order my SK board so I am ready to follow you and upgrade my Ender 3.

Another terrific video. You explain topics very well.

There are actually analog computers that aren’t base-2, but I don’t know if they’re still used anymore.

In addition, many SSDs are actually base-4 or even base-8, meaning each memory cell stores two or three bits at a time. Explaining Computers has a very good video about this discussing the new Samsung QVO 3-bit SSDs.

Love your work, keep it coming. 🙂

I know I’m commenting on an old video, it’s just how I roll. ;)

As always your explanations are great and simple to understand.
