Generation 4 & 5 Electronics

I have updated the roadmap with the information from the Generation 4 and Generation 5 electronics pages. Some information is duplicated here so it might be worth moving the descriptions to the electronics page and just linking to that from here.

I don't know much about the new generation electronics so maybe someone on the MakerBot team or someone who has experience with the new electronics could check over the information to make sure it is up to date and still relevant to the latest prototype boards.

are there any general time frames for the items that are in the "under development", "needs testing", "final prototype" and "ready for production" phases?

i would be really bummed out if all of these improvements (seems like a lot that are on the cusp of being included) were additional upgrades as soon as i got the kit in 2 months (if i order today). do you know if batch #13 will it include the arduino MEGA?

also a lot of the links have gone dead on that page, the interface v1.0, Mechanical endstop v1.1, stepper driver v3.1, extruder controller v3.2 are all dead links to thingiverse.com

thanks
