Why didn't I thought of that ! Now I need an extra big lamp to put in there!Quote:

Maybe I can put another switch on the bottom left hole in the future a button that I can not think of now.
For sure I can print new letters or marking on the panel....
Small progress.
I 3D print the lower panel for the motor connectors no big deal but I like how the front panel looks now...:excitement:

I am using the uc300eth UB1 with AM882 Leadshine stepper motor drive, as I understand from the Leadshine manual I have to use 2k resistors for the PUL- , DIR-,ENA- and alarm since I use 24volt outputs of UC300 eth ub1 right?
Can someone explain why the resistors are connected to - lines? Is that safe for the drivers? I have seen some diagrams connecting resistors at the + lines for protecting the drivers but this is the first time that I see the opposite.

All the resistor does is limit the current to about 12 to 15mA at 24V going through the led
So is it safe to use only one resistor per driver, at EN+ as the diagram above?
The MOTOR OUTPUTS are 5V not 24V, only the general OUTPUTS are 24V, so you don't need the resistors for the drives.Quote:

Sorry for keep asking, I want to eliminate the chance to make a critical mistake.

No, see my post below. You don't need resistors because the motor outputs are only 5v NOT 24vQuote:

Thanks everyone for the support!

I forgot to mention that at AB882 controllers you have to leave the enable pins disconnected otherwise the servos won't start.

Congrats Nick! Isn't it fantastic when things start moving?! Getting very close now!Quote:

That's a good point once again, I will do it that way.Quote:

I cut with my bandsaw the 20mm thick aluminum plate I bought from a scrap yard for 80 euros, to replace the MDF I use to mock up everything.
Things went well.

What tap and bolts do you guys recommend for the Y axis plates?
Happy new year to you and your families!

Nope, that prize is mine! Though I've moved on a little since this video was made.Quote:

In that respect it was an outstanding success, it worked the first time I switched it on and gave me the confidence to invest some more time and money in something that could actually do something useful.
As you can probably guess I had not discovered MYCNCUK at that time :joker:
What you did it seems a big success to me, building a cnc machine from things you collect here and there shows that you have master all the principle of cnc and have imagination.
Keep creating!
Small progress.

Thanks again everyone for helping me make my build come true!
My first engraving is a message for all the people who think that the machine that they have started or thinking to build won't finish ever.
Small careful steps and it will happen!

Συγχαρητήρια Φίλε μου μπράβο!!!
Congratulations mate,
Hope you have great fun with your machine and enjoy it as much as you dit while making it
George
Thank you very much George!Quote:
