Got it. Makes sense, as an inductive system. Been a while since I needed to look at steppers in any great depth!
Drivers are still gonna chop it to hit an average current rating for thermal reasons regardless of voltage though, no? All it'll do is bounce...
The BlackBox only comes with 4A drivers, there's no point in going overboard on power availability because you'd already be close to maxing out...
350W @ 24V is about 14A. 340oz-in or 2.4Nm motors take about 3.5A or so. Four of those is 14A. Wouldn't leave any power for drivers, etc! But all...
Look into grblHAL and grbl_Esp32. Once you graduate past three basic axes, there's a lot less hand-holding and you'll have to work on your own...
I think fixed gantry machines are underrated in general by hobbyists, and would have been the way I'd gone if I didn't have some fairly specific...
LinuxCNC is, I suspect, slightly easier to use these days than a decade ago. More wizards, more docs, more discussion, etc. But it's wildly...
Looks like this Z's coming along nicely! Good to keep that gantry overhang distance so small. Getting ready to start painting my steel screw...
"FG" is usually Field Ground, which isn't very helpful in this context. Field ground is usually low-voltage level (24V) signal DC-, and...
I would build a "solid" gantry for a 2.2kW spindle- 6ft is a LONG gap to bridge. Two C-Beams, two 2040s between them, maybe two 4040s inside....
Yeah, I saw that. Probably safer for most to stay in metric and use 25.4mm. To make sure I have the right G54 Z0, correct G43 TLO pulled up (M6...
I take back 47.8% of everything I've said about G53 coords. That's handy.
Almost certainly not- the point of CONTROL is to be dead simple and intuitive for absolute beginners. It's usable for the basics, but it was never...
Need ER20 for 1/2". Bigger spindle or smaller tooling required. Or an adaptor, if you're feeling dangerous. (literally)
Generally speaking a lower-inductance NEMA34 is gonna give better performance over a higher-inductance NEMA23 for the same torque range, at the...
Yeah the double C-Beams are interesting. On these Y rails, the connected ends act as a flexture joint, so the middle can deflect enormously. But...
Short update from the last couple weeks: plate-making! Started with 1" x 3.5" cold-finished 1018 steel bar that I cut to 1mm oversize on the...
Comparing the documentation, it looks like it's running grbl_Esp32 by Bart Dring, so presumably is an ESP32. But according to Spark (a grbl...
I used to do that, I didn't like it when they took extensions out of view. Now I'm fairly used to it since I've used so many computers in...
Since most of my programs only run once or twice, very much agree! I'm getting better about that as I go, but sometimes I'll still use an old TLO...
