Integrated and modulated circuit for extruder machine.
Description
This hardware is an Arduino Mega shield. This system integrates all systems of filament extruders. The project was based on industrial process literature. It was reported the use for control systems, power consumed by resistors and motor, filament diameter, and temperature. For this board, a calibrator was used for the diameter analysis. However, it was reported to use pressure and optical sensors. Therefore, terminal blocks were fixed for possible modifications and process validations.

Steps to reproduce
The board is currently finished, in version 2.0. If the user needs to add new sensors, to analyze the process, some terminal blocks have been fixed on the board. The board has access to Vcc and GND, 5V and 12V. The terminal blocks and the additional Arduino pins are listed in the code, digital and analogical. The process data is obtained from Arduino's command prompt.
