Very nice! Thanks for sharing this find. It looks to be well done. I would love to see this integrated into bCNC's powerful backend somehow. I'll...
Sorry. I'm not that familiar with OpenBuilds hardware either, as I don't work for them. I've only seen a few items in person. So I don't know the...
Hi @finnj. Grbl only runs on an AVR micro controller unit (MCU) at this time, and will always run on a separate controller. Here's why. A micro...
Most of the documentation on how to interface with Grbl is written up on github.com/grbl/grbl/wiki. Basically, you'll need to connect to Grbl via...
Yes. You'll need all that stuff, including a new motion controller that will do 3d printing. But, you should be able to re-use most of what you...
For a linear actuator, you don't need much more than a stepper driver. You can find good individual drivers just about anywhere these days, like...
No problem. Up until this year, it was just thank-yous, a few companies sending me a machine or electronics here and there, and small donations...
GRbl's MEGA build is user-supported and I have never checked how the pin layout was designed. I just know it's not compatible with existing...
Sorry for the delay. Been incredibly busy with the day job. Yes, I plan on trying to make Grbl's code more portable, so you can do things like...
Ah. That Zero. Thought you were talking about some small PCB mill called zero. There is also the Neutrino that is coming out that looks like a...
Zero? Not sure what you mean by that.
In my experience, the most important thing is to have a good high-voltage power supply to driver your steppers. The higher the voltage, the more...
As a data point, I've had slightly more success with 4988 Allegro stepper drivers than with 8818/8825 TI drivers. When I say slightly, I mean they...
If it's router-related, the problem is usually caused by an improper grounding or even the house circuit you're using. I've seen users have...
Part of the problem is available flash space. Strings (used error reporting) take up a tremendous amount of flash space without being very useful....
This is pretty interesting. The author of this software posted this on Grbl's issues threads a few weeks ago. It looks very polished. I think...
Not that I know of, but you should probably know that bCNC is under-going a major overhaul in its development branches to make it more powerful...
Yes, the homing cycle still works with hard limits disabled. Although, if you have severe limit switch line noise, you may run into a problem with...
I've made a recent decision to not announce anything before it's ready. Mainly because I already have a huge backlog of promised features that I...
All I can say is sooner than you think! (or maybe not.) :)
