I've never seen anyone do it, but I think it could be doable. I think you would need a counterbalance system for the X axis and I also think you...
I got my spindle and VFD from Automation Technologies, I assume the weight listed by Automation Technologies is correct, I've never weighed it...
[ATTACH] Just disassembling the rest of the old machine. More to come. [ATTACH] Disassembled, I ordered all new small parts (wheels, etc) but...
Oh yeah, the enclosure would definitely get active air circulation. I plan on having the vacuum and AC enclosed to reduce volume as much as...
I've been considering something like this, it would run all the time but I'm planning on enclosing it as well. I'm thinking starting with...
I had just come across Stepcraft today, and overall I think I prefer the openbuilds designs as well, that being said that ATC they have developed...
@Peter Van Der Walt, @Alex Chambers Okay, that makes sense. I won't worry about it unless I run into issues. I obtained VFD specific cable for...
Does this mean that the build instructions (electronics) for the Sphinx are in error. The electronics build video had us running the limit switch...
I've been playing with settings more and I did find one configuration that allows me to stop the spindle, but I'm not sure I feel safe using the...
I've got both PD001 and PD002 set to 1.
Thanks Peter, I've tried the full range of values for PD010 which seemed like a promising setting, what I'm wondering now after having tried the...
I like that, simple and would be effective.
Thanks to both of you, in hindsight I might have been better to keep everything in a single thread. My thought was as I was trying different...
No problem I'm willing to go down that path, I just got concerned when I had read some folks saying a relay was required for safety. That being...
My goal is to be able to run the spindle at full RPM range and have the M3/M5 commands successfully turn the spindle on and off. For that I would...
Two part question, would increasing the PWM frequency help alleviate the chatter issue, and is the PWM frequency changable?
I've tested using the onboard relay, but it is cutting out at about half of the spindles RPM range. I suspect the internal relay is being driven...
I was going to get into eagle and draw up a schematic for this circuit, but I think I found a good example of the circuit your describing. Replace...
I just checked the parts I had on hand and I've got some 1N4004 diodes and 2N2222 transistors. Glancing over the spec sheets I think these parts...
It's a good start on what I'd need, thank you again for the direction. Once I get some time later today I'm going to work up a circuit to breadboard.
