DDSCV1.1 3 and 4 axis offline motion controller

Hello!

I just stumbled over this thread and decided to register an account here.

To introduce myself, I am Benedikt from MadModder / bmuessig.eu.

iocapa and I are working hard on a complete open-source GPL rewrite of the entire software which will take time.
Right now, we are still very flexible. If you have any special feature requests, now is the best time to ask!
In principle many things could still be added and more types of machines could be supported.

Feel free to ask.

Best regards,
Benedikt

Hi all,
Im new here and have recently made a CNC machine using this controller, which i must admit isn't too bad a unit apart from the manual! I'm not a pro by any means and i do this just for a fun hobby. There is a couple of issues i'm working on at the moment and i'm just making sure i'm not one of them!! A question i have though, is how do you program a zero button for this unit? That is, push an external button and all axis' are zeroed?

Welcome to the forum Ben from a wannabe CNC-er lurking out in the Pakenham neck of the woods.
Roughly whereabouts in Melbourne are you?

Hi Benedikt,
Please update us with how things are going when you make some progress.

The main feature if possible for the router type machines will be to auto square the gantry. Which implies that A should be able to be linear like Y, the 2 long axis on router. For the moment i have connected 2 drives at the Y and works without a glitch, so that scenario is proven.

Next thing probing on X and Y , similar like Z probing, would be interesting.

For that money i dont expect much more, if one wants rigid tapping and similar, he must look at the 500-1500 controllers. I am quite happy with the price and what it is.

Thats how i have it. Push a button and all zeroes/ the DRO/. Not that the machine starts a zeroing procedure.

Yes, but how is it done? How do you wire it up? What are the connections?

Much appreciated. Thank you. When I'm done I'll post a few pictures

Just as a side note: I watched again a nice video where a guy have made the controller like a pendant. As i said in comments of video, i wish i have come up earlier with that idea. Now i have to go back and forth on my big machine, instead of taking the pendant with me.
