DDSCV1.1 3 and 4 axis offline motion controller

[Boyan Silyavski]

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 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.

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?

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