Whoa. Crazy. How far away is your setup from the PC / laptop running it? Greater than 16 ft? You're not using an extender or anything, right?...
M3 turns the tools on. M5 turns them off. If you have something plugged into normally on, these commands invert. Simultaneously. That's all...
These proximity switches have an LED, correct? Plug it in, and run out to next to your plate to see at what distance it will trigger. Steel is...
Don't you need to mount it with the "bullseye" towards the target? If you mount it perpendicular to the field will it work as well? Aluminum...
Howdy all... Happy New Year! Hey, what's with all this badmouthing Chinese PSU's? 99% of Meanwell's low end PSU's like the LRS-350 are...
Eh. Can you take a pic of the z axis setup..? Which machine are you running? Do you hear a grinding or stuttering sound when the Z stepper is...
Hi Larry. Don't feel bad, amigo. Limit switches and homing is the number one problem everyone has with GRBL and DIY setups. Very few times do...
It could be your drivers, but try using a different USB cable first. If this doesn't work, it could be using the Chinese USB to serial chip CH340...
Hello Christopher! Nice machine! Water cooled? Brave. I'm running aplanet cnc mk4 with a custom jog controller / keypad. It works great....
Ah. The infamous FB. Didn't realize these were being mitigated there as well. Noted.
- Alex, you beat me to it. :) If I understand correctly, the stepper wiring / current has been resolved and now limit switches are the issue?...
Yup, when I also try to compile this for Raspbian Stretch it bellies up. The force on for the unsigned repositories work, however, the Raspbian...
Nope, I'd have to breakout the step and direction pins to bypass the integrated drivers. For a small Workbee it's a great solution, though....
Me likey the Duet Ethernet. Oh, and extra motion channels is nice. Hmm.
Ah, yes...3D printed dust cover solution, with perforations! Nice! I might 3D print a hermetically sealed, positive pressure enclosure with...
Oh...and the DUST! Put a flap on it!;)
As Alex said, wifi is cool, but if you are using serial stream...it's NFG. What's kinda neat about the Duet the ability to read a program from an...
Well, you only set zero once for a particular work piece. As for saving work zero after a power cycle...I'm pretty sure it does. When you click...
The tool is ascribed two coordinate positions in CNC, absolute coordinates and relative coordinates (whatcha call machine and work coordinates)....
You mean "stupid simple"? (I hope.) Hmm. I've seen some old brakes that have been converted to servo jobs. Backgauging. Expensive.
