Cnc usb controller setup Pc#

CanвЂ™t wait to get it set up Already have an old PC with a parallel port, 17? monitor and everything else. ETA for arrival is 7-10 days as long as there are no customs delays. Will keep this blog updated with my progress. IвЂ™ve received a tracking number and the seller was quick to respond to my question about the watercooled spindle motor (needed to know if it was an ER11 or ER16 collet. ItвЂ™s a вЂњ6040' model (thatвЂ™s 60cm by 40cm working area) from ebay seller вЂњamonstarвЂќ. Quote from: metalphreak on January 30, 2012, 04:02:10 pm Some of this is copy/paste from my blog: Jan 16th: Ordering So IвЂ™ve just ordered myself a CNC machine from China. This box was just to test it out and see how well it works, but its the perfect size for a 2x16 character LCD The other option is the bolt and nut approach: A combination of glued tabs for the main part, and the nut/bolt for access panels is a good compromise. Hard to explain in words, but basically the bolt 'pulls' the back panel on through the front panel. Then I can glue everything except the back, and still have access to the inside. I have an idea to use 4 bolts through the front panel, with threads tapped into the back panel. With the 1mm cutting bit I used, you can barely even notice it I need to get some acrylic glue to hold it all together. CamBam also has an option to 'dogbone' corners so you get a square corner. CamBam was used to generate the toolpath and GCode. Easiest solution is to load it up in Inkscape, then export it as a DXF file. This outputs an SVG file which can't be imported into Cambam directly. I used Trammell Hudson's boxer script to generate the sides with tabs. Only second 'Option' enabled: Machine speed depends on speed of encoder rotation.Д«oth 'Options' enabled: Machine speed is synchronised with encoder rotation.Looking at getting a proper video camera this weekend Had a go at making a small project box tonight using some smoke grey acrylic sheet. Only first 'Option' enabled: Potentiometer from Jogging keyboard controls the speed. If 'Max Speed' is set to 2000mm/min and factor is 10, then 'Max Speed' used is 200mm/min. If 'Max Speed' is set to 2000mm/min and factor is 200, then 'Max Speed' used is 4000mm/min. If 'Max Speed' is set to 2000mm/min and factor is 100, then 'Max Speed' used is 2000mm/min. If first 'Option' is enabled, then steps are buffered.ДЇactor value is speed multiplier in percent If 'Distance' is set to 0.01mm and factor is 10, then step is 0.1mm long. If 'Distance' is set to 0.01mm and factor is 100, then step is 1mm long. If 'Distance' is set to 0.01mm and factor is 1000, then step is 10mm long. If factor value is higher, then you need to turn MPG encoder faster to achieve same speed. If 'Distance' is set to 0.01mm and factor is 10, then step is 1mm long.ДЇactor value is set to calculate speed multiplier. If 'Distance' is set to 0.01mm and factor is 100, then step is 0.1mm long. If 'Distance' is set to 0.01mm and factor is 1000, then step is 0.01mm long. Step distance = 'Distance' *(1000 / 'Factor') X1 on MPG selects 'Mode1', X10 'Mode2' and X100 'Mode3'.ДЇor each mode you can set if 'Step' mode is enabled.ДЇactor value is used to calculate distance multiplier. Standard MPG pendant has switch for Mode 1, 2 and 3.

Seven modes are possible for Mk3 controllers and four modes are possible for Mk2 controller. 'Max Speed' is maximum speed that machine can travel when operated with MPG.

Enable 'Reverse' to set reverse direction. Set 'PPR' to your encoder pulses per revolution value. Encoder' to use encoder for measuring spindle RPM. Enable 'Invert' option if your signal is active low type.Д®nable 'Use Rev. With higher values you can enable fast options to increase response time. Most common PPR value is one, but you can use higher value. Index' to use index signal for measuring spindle RPM and spindle position. Enable 'Reverse' to set reverse MPG direction.Д®nable 'Use Rev. Most common PPR value for MPG is 100 pulses per revolution. Enable 'Invert' option, if your E-Stop switch is active low (NC type).Д®nable 'Use MPG' to use MPG pendant.

Enable 'E-Stop' to use E-Stop switch connected to CTRL1 pin.
