This page contains todo items for the project:

  • Test the Y axis homing Hall effect switch integration with LinuxCNC

Jim and Scott got this working 8/18/2019 using the simple circuit Chris worked out with a pull-up resistor to 5V. It is currently just bread-boarded.

  • Continue to work on wiring for the encoders, homing, motors. All done except additional I/O

  • Continue to work on wiring for other I/O.

  • Do we have a contactor for the vacuum pump?

  • Implement an estop

  • Implement a reliable 24VDC supply for the limits and estop

  • Clean up all wiring

  • Square up gantry bearings

  • Measure gantry squareness and adjust

  • Implement a more permanent air supply to the Z axis.

  • Implement a more permanent dust collection hook up.

  • Get the encoder pulses per inch tuning figured out for all axes, the info Chris sent will help with that

  • Measure the current draw of the pneumatic brake solenoid to see if we can drive it directly from the 7i37TA with a flyback diode or if we need a relay: 24mA. We can drive it directly and that is done.

  • Integrate the 48V power supply to the motor controllers

  • Measure max velocity of the Y axis @ 48 V. I am thinking take a video of it with a tape measure in the shot and we can count video frames: ~1550 IPM

  • Investigate the best path forward for gantry configuration that will eventually integrate with PathPilot. We are moving forward with LinuxCNC 2.8

  • Finish spoil boards and install them
