That's hilarious. We have nothing quite so exotic over here. Fortunately!

you're blurring the lines between art and manufacturing

OK, episode 6 is now ready at last. This time we are building the main gantry parts . . . enjoy !

He lives in Berlin so all his photo's are "wildlife" lol but normally wildlife in Berlin means you're wearing a dress, have a beard and look like you...

There was no documentation with my quality £3.30 (Delivered) BOB from China lol I found the pinout online for an identical board. ...

Plenty of people use microswitches, and that will probably be fine. I use inductive sensors, as much as anything for convenience in mounting, but in...

"Selecting Supply Voltage The power MOSFETS inside the AM882 can actually operate within +20 ~ +80VDC, including power input fluctuation and...

Your friend is building up a nice collection of wildlife photos :)

;)

Do you mean the limit switches? I wonder if they work like on an arduino/ramps combo with pull up resistors (Which you can toggle on/off) I know the...

Neale As I understand it the 12-24v is also required for the inputs as well. I don't think the inputs work without it. (could be wrong though)

Thanks, that makes sense I'm going to have 2 mini towers next to each other one with a pc in it and the other with the PSU, AM882's and BOB so I can...

Another opinion... 5 BOB inputs is just enough. I'm assuming you are using microswitches here - it gets a whole lot more messy if you want to use...

AndyGuid, ouch! Luckily we have other pursuits as a distraction! #WeDontTalkRugby

hi i have managed to upload my cnc6040Z XML settings file that came with the cd for my machine.great i hope you can help me with everything from...

Hi.there I have tried to attached a pic of the actual board I have minus the DB9 which is optional on mine.now i also have which i can not open and...

@Procarve, Following the recent 57-0 rugby union drubbing of the Springboks by the All Blacks, I'm surprised you're sounding quite cheerful and...

yeah, I realised it would be 3 x 4700uF in parallel, thanks again.

I take it you ordered three caps:beer:

Thanks Clive, ordered the 25v-25v 625Va... Bigger is always better :)

Jeff here is the stock answer https://www.rapidonline.com/50a-bridge-rectifier-metal-case-519318 ...

Thanks guys, really great insights. I guess that the lazy ass part of me thought that 48v was good because I could get away with an off the shelf...

5-10 years ago, the owner of Gecko used to post on the forums quite a bit. He used to say that the ideal voltage, was the lowest voltage required to...

This looks pretty similar ....

Hi Wal, thanks for the reply. Shame there's no log, I could spend hours reading about other people builds! Considering it was made in a...

It's more important to get the max current right and not worry too much about the voltage. The higher voltage gets the motor current up quicker on...

I was basing the "ideal" voltage on the 32 x Square Root of inductance which, in the case of the cnc4you steppers would be 55v. The information on...

Lee I know the board but from what I have read (I think) some of the spindle controllers have a high voltage on them. So I will bow out as I have...
