its broke, needs a ramps+mega combo

8EjnffL.jpg

original body came from a MYDIYCNC that was left on a beach.
now try the software side.

TODO

  • z stepper motor is broken - nema17 replacement need to install.
  • connect the dremel to the RAMPS board
  • limit switch
  • z-probe - repetier z-probing

software

there are usually several programs in the process.

  • create the artwork (inkscape for 2D, XXX for 3D)
  • generate the toolpath/gcode (pycam, ....)
  • cnc controller, to send the gcode


cnc controller

got it working with grbl controller on windows

universal gcode sender

using the 1.0.8 release , its java based so works anywhere. tested on arch/linux

LTDR 

 wget  https://github.com/winder/builds/blob/master/UniversalGCodeSender/UniversalGcodeSender-v1.0.8.zip
 unzip UniversalGcodeSender-v1.0.8.zip
 cat README.txt
 java -jar -Xmx256m UniversalGcodeSender.jar

command line

firmware

gbrl

one of the popular firmware for controlling stepper drivers and parsing G-CODE

noam installed gbrl for ramps - http://sourceforge.net/projects/grblforramps14/

repetier host

on hold Repertier-Host (git) is used for firmware and optionally for controlling software. Version 0.9 (current on fedora 21) isn't good enough. But [pronsole (printrun) works fine, so does this python snippet: (using pyserial only, and very basic gcode gleened from pronsole source): 

import serial
s = serial.Serial('

$ cat rectral.py 
import serial

s = serial.Serial(port='/dev/ttyACM0', baudrate=250000)
d = [('X', 1), ('Y', 1), ('X', -1), ('Y', -1)]
l = [100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 1000, 1100]

for le in l:
    for axis, direc in d:
        s.write('G%s%s F3000\n' % (axis, direc * le))


firmware "configuration.h" file pastebin as of 2014-10-25
enabled support for z-probing,the settings are at ball park esp.

// distance/difference between activated probe and nuzzle height
#define Z_PROBE_HEIGHT 40




hardware

  • PSU pinout DPS-800GB-A_0.png

  • machine manual, good mostly for historical, mechanical design
