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...
right, i was able to fit my gear into a 12x10x5" enclosure
Many people find cheap plastic project enclosures on ebay or amazon it can be tricky finding the right size but they are out there for about $40...
Best way imo, is to use the Arduino with independent drivers, the ones openbuilds sells are very good but $40 each, there are cheaper options that...
post your grbl settings ("$$" will list them) and just copy and paste here if possible. Also what microstep setting do you have the drivers set...
I would think the best thing to do if you are waiting for the Apex is to buy the DQ542MA drivers and a $16 Arduino Uno and run GRBL for now.
Haven't posted much on this build in a while. Ox has been working great, switched software to 100% Estlcam for CAM and machine control and I use...
You "zero" X, Y, Z according to where you want to start. I think that's what you're asking?
They are in mm :)
Check that your v-wheels aren’t too tight on the x carriage. Or a x stepper motor termination isn’t loose. Or the pulley if it’s a belt system.
