Hello All: Currently working on a Large Sheet Metal Robotic Eyeball project, looking to use my DE10-Nano to move the stepper motors for the up and down & Side to side eye movement as well as Closing of the eyelids.
Looking for assistance as since machinekit (LinuxCNC) are not my area's of expertise. I have currently followed the instructions on page: https://www.machinekit.io/docs/getting-started/u-boot-mksocfpga-altera-initial/ I have successfully installed the SD card image, SSH through the serial port as well have a working HDMI display with a functioning desktop. After several attempts of the machinekit configuration, I am confused which one to pick? Following the above link, At the end of page, the only bitimage files for HDMI displays available are for CRAMPS 3x24. I currently do not have CRAMPS hardware, (unless there are some available for purchase). I would like to connect my Gecko G213V stepper motor drives to the DE10-nano. >From my understating, I should be able to connect these gecko drives directly to the output pins of the DE10 using the 5i25 driver (image file)???? At this point I am attempted to pick hm2-soc-cramps_no_fw_load, I was able to get to the machinekit (linuxcnc) axis screen. With the software running, I did not notice any HAL logs to the dmesg command. is this normal? Also, I noticed that the Jog speed and Max Velocity are way out of spec? next steps... Should I be able to run the PNCconf wizard and select the corresponding timings for the Gecko drives? Or should I be adding these manually to the ini files?? I am confused for the next steps and apologize for being a NOOB, as any assistance would be wonderful! Thanks!
