[Emc-users] Off topic-Electrical design help

Sorry guys for using the list for something not really related to EMC, but I do know here are a lot of people with the knowledge I need. It was long time ago I designed something with electronics, so I hope someone can help me. What I need is an electric braker-pusher. It will not need to come to

Re: [Emc-users] Off topic-Electrical design help

It's either pushing or braking according to the given value, but the value will change over time. It's going to be a part of a simulator where the program will simulate a road, so it's uphill or downhill. Sven 2008/12/20 Leslie Newell > Does it have to be two function i.e brake - push or does i

Re: [Emc-users] Off topic-Electrical design help

It's absolutely a cost issue, and the servo drives are way to exotic for this project. I only need a small motor that just drives or brakes according to the rate that the computer sent. I had an idea of letting a thyristor shopping up the frequency, but it would be much easier to run a DC motor and

Re: [Emc-users] CNC 101

There's no problem with getting very good precision with a photogrammetry. My workshop neighbour has written code algoritms for photogrammetry and they make 1/10 of mm precision - with a videocamera on a 50 ft sail boat hull. They actually came to the conclusion to make the keel fin 5 mm wider to g

Re: [Emc-users] CNC 101

That's all about calibrating the camera with the software. They don't use one picture, they use hundreds. I know several companies doing seriuos "industry spionage" with photogrammetry, big excavators and loaders are photographed for measurement. Regards, Sven 2009/2/11 Gene Heskett > Yeah, may

Have a look at cnczone.com, there are numerous of home made machines in large size. You need the big the garage, that's for sure.

I don't want to be negative because I like when people try out new ideas, but... The rules are very clear, wings must have a tested beam and cross sections to be certified. Foam is for surfboards. Not even the lighest gliders are built with any type of foam. Beams and sections. Always. But it does

[Emc-users] Old Rutex board, step time and space?

Did search, did not find... Is anyone running the R990h boards? I can't find the step time/space and direction values, so if someone have a guess or the real numbers I would be very thankful. It feels like I've been terrorising the list lately, but one problem never comes alone... Regards, Sven -
