I am doing a bit of 3 axis cnc routing on pvc. I would like to set it and forget it while it runs. I have been thinking about building, or buying if available, something down this line.
Parallel breakout for stepper drive. Microchip pic32 or similar to monitor incoming steps Encoders on steppers to compare against steps. Pic set up as usb HID device, with misc IO for jogging, etc. Amperage monitoring on 110 out relays, controlled with HID or aux parport io. I would set up the amperage and stepper monitors on the control board to flip a bit if things get out of whack, which would be netted to the machine-on. Is there something out there that fits the bill already? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
