-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am getting close to being able to put together one of the "delta" style 3D printers, and I will need to put more thought into homing.
The current state-of-the-art for this in the Arduino world is shown in the following videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eNz1l56H5E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTuql1iJMAQ The process is as follows: * Each joint is homed to a switch at the top of the travel range (you can barely see the belts moving for this at the beginning of the video) which provides approximate homing * Then carriage is lowered and moved towards one of the joint arms in a motion that releases a captured bed probe (an allen wrench with a switch and some springs) * The bed height is probed using the allen wrench sensor and automatically leveled via firmware * The carriage moves off the bed so it can push the allen wrench into the retracted position * The machine is homed and ready to use Question: How do I begin to hook in a homing procedure like this to LinuxCNC? - -- Charles Steinkuehler [email protected] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlHZe2MACgkQLywbqEHdNFxZXwCeIetMkeViW2js61W9Jpp/A0se jxoAnj01o4xBtHIlM7hTT/idNGUf7lLa =rh/x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
