Filtered b-spline integration to Redeem firmware #209

I think by now we all know the huge potential this method can provide to 3d printer systems

Now, Dr. C. Okwudire did state that his team had problem developing the filtered b-spline to the Marlin firmware because of the low computational power and memory on the ATMega2560 microcontroller which cannot support our algorithm

"Over the past year we have been working to integrate our vibration compensation algorithm into Marlin and release it open-source to the 3D printng community. But we have not succeeded because of the low computational power and memory on the ATMega2560 microcontroller which cannot support our algorithm,” Professor Okwudire told 3DPrint.com. “We are now looking into releasing it open-source on firmware that run on more powerful microcontrollers"

I believe its a golden opportunity for us to propose our platform given that the beagle bone + redeem hardware most probably can "solve" this problem leaving us with a 3d printer with substantial better performance, something that the Marlin firmware can never handle due to limited hardware capability its compatible with. I think its best if we invite Dr. C. Okwudire to develop the his filtered b-spline "mechanism" to Redeem firmware

I understand this may not be a quick task, but considering the huge potential it would be a pity we wouldn't consider this at least as a long term goal to the Redeem platform.

This should be an issue, not a Pull Request.
