My pleasure. I've received a fair amount of LinuxCNC specific answers from the good people on this list, and if I can answer an electrical question, I'm happy to have the opportunity to pay it forward. I kept urging you to look for example E-stop schematics because I felt it was the easiest way for you to grok the concepts. A picture is worth a thousand words. The recent post by Dave describes the industry standard way to wire a machine. I've designed quite a few industrial machines just like that. I do cut some corners on machines I use in my basement shop (solid state relays instead of mechanical relays, etc.), but I still adhere to the same basic concepts because that's generally the simplest way to do the job. It also helps to wire it according to standard design principles because that'll make it easier for me or anyone else who has some machine wiring experience to troubleshoot later. Standard methods ensure we're all on the same page. > Talking about easy cheap MC's, I loved the PIC, simple to code, implement and > cheap on the wallet. I was in early on the PIC microcontrollers, and wrote a LOT of PIC assembler code. I haven't dabbled in that in almost a decade, but I'm about to do a simple PIC project or two. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
