That's a great idea. Thanks!
I had a small health setback and am just now getting back to the real world, hence the delay in responding to your post.
I was getting results similar to yours, but felt they could be better. Did...
It seems well made. I haven't run any tests yet, but hope it will be accurate to .001 as they claim.
I figured it out. The "is_output" in your hal was throwing me for a loop, until I found that the "is_output 0" sets the pin as a high impedance input. Clear as mud. Wired the red to a 5v source, and...
I know this is an old thread, but came across it searching for an answer on how to set up a touch probe on an NM-200. The probe is a Drewtronics S5000LED, with 2 wires. I do not have a touch plate. I...
Does your mill have the Sangmutan 2200w / 3HP 6000 RPM spindle motor? The reason I ask is that the controller on mine has terminals for a spindle brake, tapping, fwd, reverse, as well as terminals...
I was wondering if the second spindle got in the way of accessing your main spindle. If I add one it'll go to the right side.
Thanks.
Nice looking bracket setup. How did it work out for you?
I've got an NM200 and plan on doing something similar. 6000rpm just isn't enough for small endmills.
Thanks!
I tried that during my 6 day misadventure, but obviously didn't set it up properly.
PM sent.
Thanks for clarifying which bit file I should use.
The confusion comes from the fact I don't have PWM, but the wiring appears to be set up for PWM. In the BRUSHLESS MOTOR 110220V.doc file I...
This is where I'm confused. Kvom said on this thread that his BOB didn't have PWM, and that is why he used stepgen to control his spindle. I have the same BOB, and according to page 7 of the...
I'm a relative noob at CNC controls, and am attempting to install PathPilot on a Novakon nm200R2 as kvom did here, and have everything working except the spindle. After 6 mind-numbing days trying to...
Thank you.
kvom - I just purchased a lightly used NM200 R2 with ESS that had some electrical issues, and a pile of test .xml files the previous owner created/saved while debugging. If you had/have the same...
When Tormach wouldn't sell me the PP+card combo I asked why not, but they didn't respond other than to tell me I could purchase PP alone. Your analysis is the most probable explanation as to why they...
Tormach is still selling PathPilot to non-Tormach customers. I purchased it last week for $100 + $18 shipping. I didn't see it listed anywhere on their site, but found it was available when they...
