If you already have the space, give it a shot, just be sure to use good star grounding practices and shielded wire.
The pi would be ok, but the vfd for a spindle is high voltage and high frequency electrical noise. Need to be grounded and shielded well. It’s...
Oh and putting the VFD in the same enclosure as the drivers and controler is probably asking for EMI issues.. I know it's been done in the past...
Makes perfect sense, i'm sure you can take the Z home code out of the config, Good question for Sonny in the GRBL Help thread
does it make any noise? do your switches work? you should be able to see the inputs somewhere what are you using, UGS? is your jogging good now?...
Ok, from the video, looks like current is too low or speed is too high... unless you have your wheels (eccentrics) way tight. Good luck
Hi Jay, I don't see the video?
I agree the cnc router parts ones are very good, But there are a ton of chinese suppliers who make plastic racks that would suite our load needs,...
there was a thread of a possible uhmw rack with brass pinion a while back..But the pics were censored out of openbuilds :D Aluminum has bad wear...
Make sure you have the coils properly identified on your steppers, don't go by color alone, use a multimeter. There is no reason to burn things...
Keep the Arduino and get real drivers! The stuttering is probably just the current adjustment too low.
Yep, I’ll be here Cheers
I don't use either but its up to you. I use home switches some times like when it's a more complex project but for simple quick to run cuts i...
D11 is the PWM output 0-5V
If you were to update to Grbl V1.1 you will have better Laser mode support gnea/grbl when you say the limits are not working what is the behavior?
Fans don't pull much power, the 24V psu can easily power the fan and everything else with no problem. 300mA is typical The way drives work they...
Smoothieboard is a controller (edit) and driver up to 2A (32bit and lots of features), runs smoothieware.. xpro is a controller and driver board...
ok so you have your grbl setting set screaming fast, but the F speed in your gcode is F1000 for Z and F1200mm/min X and Y i'm not sure why you...
you cut speed is set in your cam software.. post your grbl settings here and an example of your gcode, most times accel is the reason for slower...
Did you program the xpro with estlcam or just make gcode and run it with gcode sender? if you programmed it you have to reprogram GRBL into it...
