Thanks for posting it up, and glad is's running!! Scott
I know they're new to the market, But I'm working on a heavy duty mill design (somewhere between Gantry mill and Way guided conventional Mini...
No quite. that's a mix of a couple of the possible ways of doing it. The SSR can't switch DC. It will not shut back off (and probably wouldn't...
There's a lot of ways to get there, Here's a relay you CAN just hook to the SSR output as it is wired (assuming it is triggering o based on the...
I did some research. You are correct that the Tiny G has a 3.3v logic output, which is ragged edge for stndard 5v logic devices, and I know of no...
By stacking, I mean more than one solid state switching device in series. The way most speed controls (and Solid State Relays) work is by...
I'm likely headed there too. This is all stuff we're going to have to adapt to eventually. Sure is culture shock getting immersed in it all at...
I had your 2nd revelation 1st. I've been researching CAM software as well, and caught a video (can't seem to find it again) of a fellow taking a...
"I'm a 2D cad user for 30+ years so maybe I just have to get over preconceived notions of how things work in the 2d world. It seems to me that...
Thanks, Been a Arduino user since the beginning, but bought a Smoothstepper E a couple of years ago, and was hoping to use that. Maybe I'll just...
There's a lot of them out there, and most seem to have pretty generous trials. I'm probably going to start with a basic Mach 3 plug in, either the...
Correct on the input voltage issue, but there's more. The triacs in the ssr often don't play well with ac/dc brushed motors - like those typical...
+1 Metalguru Seeing it done would answer a lot of questions for me as well. Not sure if it's just my lack of 3d CAD experience or Sketchup setup....
I've been looking for CAM software and Gcode editor. I've found a few, There's the Vcarve series targeted mostly at router users, then these....
Thanks Mark. You are dead on about the explosion of the maker movement. Seems like anybody with a couple coding classes and time on their hands...
Looks like I cross posted you Mark. Thanks a lot for the info. I didn't realize that Sketchup had so much add on material. In my day you could...
Thanks for the info. I really am leaning toward Draughtsight at the moment. Solidworks is also in the running. I agree with the get what you pay...
Sounds good to me, can you please save us some time by directing us to source for the plug ins? I'm here to learn. Scott
Metal, I was wondering about that too, I supposedly have the Pro edition trial, and can't tell. It' got a few nice features, but I re-drew a...
I'm where you're at. I'm trying to decide what Cad to standardize on. Used Autocad all my life, but I'm retired and can't afford the...
