DDSCV1.1 3 and 4 axis offline motion controller

**JAZZCNC** · 16-11-2016

Ok Boyan thrown some motors on controller and CANNOT make it Slave the motors together. changed all settings and still no Joy.
The A/B selection makes no difference. Setting A pulse to from Pulse/Deg to Pulse/Circ just makes the A motor ONLY spin continuesly with no control over it. Pulse Degree does exactly that moves in Degree increments per pulse.

I'm also not impressed with the Crap Terminal connectors on back what load of rubbish. Tiny holes and half of them won't clamp properly. I see loads of potential for trouble with lose or fallen out wires with these things.!!

Yes, Benedict is working on a new compiler, but he updated a new mod, go on the website and download it, even the new splash screen is included, is a hard job, but we will do it, in the meantime I am re designing the front of the panel, in a few days I'll post the new job, as I am going to build the Cnc controller panel with the hand wheel embedded and all the buttons..... Hopefully!!

Sweet sounds really good for the DDSC, I look forward to seeing the panel, can never have enough build log pictures so keep them coming !!!

For the ones without the link http://madmodder.net/index.php/topic,11598.200.html

You are doing great job there guys!

So we better start thinking then what exactly and how to be made better there in the new software.

About the panel and the rubber pad insert for the keys.
We/me and Jeff/ just bought ourselves a new 3d printer / PrusaMk2/ so soon i will be able to print the rubber and the plastic if needed. So feel free to design something better Open Source :-). I will print it , no problem. Though if what you are doing guys works, this will well deserve an Aluminum panel

Now just to heat your heads a bit more:

By the way there is an manufacturer of very similar/ if not even better board by the looks of it / that only difference is it can not read continuously from USB disc and has line limit. But if needed i can contact them and ask for software. I did not bother before with them as this one seemed more refined.

More info, quotes from emails:

TC55A is conversational programming and TC55B is G code programming.

We do not have English documents about it, but the system supports English operation.

TC55A is basically big version of TC55V and TC55B is big version of TC55H.

me:

Now there is some very important thing. In manual it says:
Electronic Gearing: Numerator : 1-99999,
Denominator : 1-99999
USB: For Importing NC Programs and Boot Page Pictures
Optically Isolated I/O ports
Maximum number of Program Lines: 799
Maximum number of Programs: 99 RAM: 128M

So the question is:
-If i load 100 000 line G code on USB, will it work, reading from USB and executing G code whole program?

What does it mean Maximum number of Program Lines: 799 ????

them:
Sorry, 100 000 will not work.

The manual is old, TC55H can support 999 at max, and TC55B can do 9999

Everything will be open source Boyan, that's why we are here..
i will share DXF and 3D models of course, we are thinking to have the complete panel re designed, let's see what i can do.....

So you guys bought a 3d printer.... well let me tell you, you will need a long time before you print rubber after plastic if is the first printer you have, is not an easy job, it looks like a joke, but when you start printing seriously( i mean accurate models) here is when your stress start :-)), happy head aches to you

Anyway, if you need help for the printer just ask, i'm happy to help, i'm in the 3d printer world for years, they have no secrets for me.
If you are courious have a look at http://www.thingiverse.com
lots of models and things to learn.
Regards

PS.
I remember someone saying that the 4 axis is not working/linking to the other axis..
well here is working, have a look

Is a cheap controller, but it has a good potential if we find the way to crack the firmware and add some more features and routines

Maybe your miss understanding what was meant.? It was me who said doesn't work and I'm talking about Slaved axis. As in two motor/drives on separate outputs working as one axis.
That controller is exactly the same one I have and it DOESNT allow slaved motors. This video is just showing it working as 3 + 1 which the controller will do no problem. The fact they have twin screws means they are using dodgy practise of using one output to control two drives or even worse one drive to control two motors.?

IT DOESNT SLAVE TRUST ME.!!!!

No no didn't think for one minute you was and not jumping on you so please don't take it that way.

Just making clear it's not what was meant and doesn't do slaved axis like people think it does.

Anyway it was good to know that 4rth axis is working cause just this morning i was wondering after all the hype if 4rth axis could work at all as there was no video.

By the way i forgot to tell that all this time the 3 axis controller was loaded with the latest 4 axis software and apart from 4rth not showing on DRO, everything works fine as you know. I dont know if the 4rth will work actually but just is good to know. Anyway the 4rth axis version and the 3 axis version share same hardware.
