Yes, I used the resistors that were provided with the package I bought.
However, when trying to reformat the computer something glitched, and of course windows 7 is no longer supported. I have...
I bought the g540, power supply, motors, cables, vfd, and spindle setup from a seller that has done a lot of these setups. It should be but, I am going to check the power supply while the machine is...
I tried just about everything, and am trying a complete reformat of the computer. Then I will reinstall software, reset everything, and if I still can't get it to work I am putting my old "made it...
I have a Chinese cnc that I have retrofitted with a set of motors, cables, and G540. I had a hobby cnc controller on it, and with that setup I could get about 30in/min. When I upgraded to the G540...
I just received an email from Brian, he just moved his office and wasn't getting emails. Good news
I had a hobby cnc board that a wire came loose on and fried the board.
I had planned to use my cnc for several Christmas projects, so I need new electronics. I had ordered a new hobby cnc...
I had an original hobby cnc board that fried when a wire came loose to a wire. So I went onto hobby cnc and ordered a new board. The email that I received had this at the top.
Hello Stephen,
...
I have shipped a lot of item to Canada, and many of them were extremely heavy, but not heavy enough for freight. It is certainly the sellers fault for shipping in a box like that... If I were to...
Drp,
Now you can get it setup and if the mood were to strike, help splodger cut parts for his first machine(what a way to break in your new machine)
Just my suggestion, I know if I had someone...
Here is something that I have seen used very well, but only for sides upto 48".
The owner was using a shopbot router, and made the table so that the boards could be clamped with the edge facing up...
I'm a little farther south in Westerly RI, but would be interested in talking.
I am working on building a router.
So far I have accomplished little. I built a hobby board, and am in the...
Jerry,
Thanks for that link. Unfortunately it means that there is something more wrong than the cable. I tested the cable and it is the correct layout. I also am trying to use their software...
I have a calcomp 1025 plotter that I am trying to make work, but am not sure what cable to use. I have a 24 pin to 9 pin rs232 cable, but that doesn't seem to want to work. I also have a 24 pin...
Some time ago I read somewhere.... I looked it up I couldn't take not remembering.
Would something like this work with a glass cutting wheel?

I recieved the kit yesterday, it does appear very easy to assemble. I am going to practice my soldering before I do the board. I do not forsee any problems. I just have to make sure all of the...
Dave,
I only considered rockler because of the smooth finish of the zinc plated pipe. No other reason, as I have quite a few plumbing suppliers around me.
The final machine(third) is a long...
I just purchased the hobby cnc 4axis kit, so now all I have to do is build the router. I have a couple of large projects to do before the router, but I am planning on building an entry level router...
Thank you, that cleared up my questions for the moment. Once I get the kit I will probably have some more. Stephen
I am about ready to order the kit, however, in the description 35vdc recommended, but the transformer recommened is only 24v? Is there a different transformer that should be used? Thank you
Stephen
It has been about 15 years since I soldered any electronics, so yes I am rusty, that is why I question my soldering. How were the diagrams to decipher? Did you have any trouble matching components...
I am a newbie looking to build a cnc machine, but have been trying to determine how difficult it would be to assemble the hobbycnc board myself. I can build anything out of wood, work on anything...
Having worked with Medex several years ago(they might have made it better), it took about 6 months for water infiltration. But once it did it swelled pretty well. If I remember, GER21 is right, it...
I am going to be building my own machine based on the same principal Hack used. I am reading this forum night and day and have learned a great deal. When it comes to programs I am lost.
I want...
I just picked up an Emco F1 CNC and really need help on how the unit operates.
I am a carpenter, so I don't know gcode( a major downfall), but was always good at programing computers.
