I recommend getting a genuine arduino uno, and a screw shield like this one to make landing all the wires easy. Genuine Uno's seem to handle the...
gearbox will introduce backlash, and really slow things down! you said you have a 5mm lead screw? what microstep are you running? hard to tell...
Hi Charlie, You really don't want to use an XPro with DQ542MA's unless you already had the Xpro.. The current will not be used from the xpro so...
If you want to do a belt driven OX, then the Chrisclub OX HD plates is what you want.. for 2080 x y rails and c-beam z. on ebay or you can email him
If you have the length and it looks like you might, setup the screw collars so they put the screw in tension instead of compression, it does help....
If you want feedback you can get servos, it's easy just a bit more money.. Clearpath servos are one example. But like Peter said, good strong...
I'm not sure it's the reason but you could test that by soldering the usb directly to the back of the board, it's only 4 wires [ATTACH]
You said you confirmed the voltage, was that with everything plugged in? many ATX PSU's need a substantial load on the 5V rail to fully power up...
Powge on ebay has a great selection of belts and pulleys
yeah i got a cheap 100 tooth 10inch one on ebay cuts great, but a fine tooth woodworking carbide blade works great as well. Just make sure to...
I've always considered a decent table saw to be a basic human necessity ;) (tell your wife that's from the World Health Organization) Dimensional...
many cad programs can open IGS files, and there are many IGS to DWG converters out there as well.
Sounds like you don’t have the coils matched up to the driver outputs.? The board is happy until it tries driving a motor.
Basically current is torque voltage is speed.
Hey off topic rants are what makes a thread interesting sometimes!
2.6 would be fine, at 3 they might run too hot. Hot is when you can not hold your hand on it for more than a few seconds. Warm is just fine.
Y Yes, I agree i'm a big fan of the arduino and discrete drivers, that's what I use.. but the original question was... "Can the X-Pro be used...
I thought the Xpro had solder tabs on the back for using discrete drives? maybe it's just the v3?
Ok, that must be it, didn’t realize it was customized, thanks Rick
Strange that this Control Software area doesn't seem to be linked to "new post"?
