Glad to hear you're making progress :) Yes - you get things like scorch marks when cutting wood, or the cutter rubs and grabs intermittently....
The curse of AI! :D It’s a starting point, but it clearly isn’t working for whatever reason, so you need to change something. It’s not a magic...
Difficult to tell from the view angle of the video, but you seem to have a quite a lot of tool stick-out.Tool deflection will contribute to...
I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your explanation, or if you're not quite understanding the process... The machine only needs to travel to...
You may want to experiment with that before committing too much to it - my experience was that the TLO got cancelled for a multitude of reasons...
As above, it worked without problems. The device in question was from SIIG. It was a 4 port one, which would likely be overkill for what's being...
Thanks - that makes sense. Will have a look at sorting it out in due course.
Where have you set the origin for your CAM setup? The machine needs to be homed, then moved to that position and the WCS (G54) set to zero....
Not a Black Box, but a remote terminal for a CNC controller… All worked as advertised: looked like a USB port at each end, but LAN in between. I...
There’s no particular workflow needed - obviously the machine needs to be homed after power up, and you need to set a reference tool before you...
Yes. You may not need the resistor - try without, I *think* it will be ok. No - later in the Macro thread there is one I posted for finding the...
I suspect your probe has an ‘open collector’ output, rather than a switch (npn in the description). Try connecting the ‘com’ of the probe...
What CAM are you using? It is usually possible to specify one way or the other.
Can you post your Gcode? Also the contents of the serial window when the error occurs? (Preferably by cut and paste, rather than a screen shot).
Always safer to use NC if you can. You can connect two NO to the same input in parallel (with $6=0), or two NC in series (with $6=1), but if you...
They can only share the same input if they are both NO type probes. The tool setter is NC, so you will need to set $6=1 to use it (probe pin invert).
I would vote for a good quality power supply, but a little more generously rated than that - Maybe at least 5 amp so that it doesn't run too hot...
It was very likely overheating, but (if genuine) the LM2596 has thermal shutdown protection - once it has cooled down, it will reset once the...
I've used a 'spotting' drill for this in the past on my spindle machine, but I guessed that the question was about plasma - @fflen Can you confirm...
In addition to Peter's request: What program did you use for the CAM (to generate the GCode)? What operation(s) did you use for the machining...
