I found the connector I was looking for so I created you a new encoder cable. Here it is:
359262
I use the exact same servo on my other machine, so I was able to "borrow" the pinout from that one....

The main thing I was looking for with the X and Y was to see if they wound up being different somehow.
They are the same, so that is good.

When you swapped the connectors on the X and Y axis, ...

Hi Norm and AL, This is Mike, the original owner of the F1.
I will attach the "block" diagram that I had put together. This unfortunately does not go down to a wire by wire level, but the machine...

Although I no longer have my Isel machine, I have been asked about the C++ lib file that may communicate with the SRV400. I have attached them to this thread so that others might find them useful....

Wow man, great site- I will definitely soak up all the info. I really like that homegrown extruder too.
Thanks, Mike

Wow, sorry I didn't see these great replies until after I went in and edited my foolish post!
You guys were on the right path with the pot issue though. Don't ask me why I was "sure" which lead was...

Note to self, don't panic post at 2AM after not realizing your wiper lead on the speed pot is the orange wire, not the white one.
Sorry to waste bandwidth- nothing to see here folks...(chair)

Hey Doug, great work- subscribed!
Thanks for sharing the details of your builds.

Hi Adrian,
Sorry for the late response- I don't visit the forums too often. Anyway, yes the spindle is still kicking, even though it just sees pretty light duty. I am still happy with the...

Hey Rob,
I finally got this guy wired up and fired it for the first time this evening. Maybe this will give you a little better idea what these are like:
<iframe width="420" height="315"...

When I decided I was going to cut up a pile of extrusions myself, I could not for the life of me find a video of someone cutting this stuff. This made me decide to document my first cut for the...

Hey Rob,
I'm not sure about the number of bearings. It had continuity between the body and shaft, so I am guessing that this would indicate steel VS ceramic balls.
The fan has no visible...

^ That looks like this one's brother, just without the label.
Here's a few pics attached- I also put a bunch in a photobucket page here.
I made a video to show the fan binding/scraping noise also,...

This is the pic in the listing I was referring to:

I do see what ya mean though, if you squint and turn your head sideways, while...

^ great link :)
I will take a bunch of pics later tonight when I get home.
I think I will make due with this one, and take the plastic impeller off (man, is it way cheezier than the ones in your...

Well, I received the spindle today. Mixed feelings on this one-
1) The listing said that the motor went to 400HZ, but the label on the motor clearly states 300HZ. I am not sure what to think of...

Hey Guys,
I received another tracking number tonight (from DHL this time) and a profuse apology, so maybe things are looking up. According to this tracking number, the package seems as though it...

^great info guys^
An update on mine- solar.jean is not impressing me...
They sent me a tracking number a few days ago (I paid 9 days ago now), but FedEx says that the destination for this tracking...

Wow! What a great room above the garage- Just pipe some 220 up there and you'll be golden. Congrats- the whole package is just beautiful.

Hey Rob,
I just ordered a square 3KW spindle from solar.jean on ebay about 7 days ago. I also ordered a 3KW vfd from ebay seller world-etrade.
Although the square spindle cost about $85 more...

Thanks Steve-
That sounds simple enough (and I like that :) )
I might even be able to scrounge one of those up in my junkbox from a past project. The encoders I am using only draw 10ma max, so...

One last note- I may have thought of a workaround that will cover my needs... I was thinking about using the Aux limit switch input pin as a way to tell Mach that the g320's are happy/unhappy. I am...

Hello All,
I am assembling my drive box today and have run into an uncertainty.
I am using a Campbell Breakout board, v 1.7, and I am trying to understand just how I will be able to get its...

Looks nice- if you find out, let us know.
What is that a picture of?
An ILDA Laser Projector?

Excellent link- I will read and reread that one in detail tonight. I haven't bought the 70v supply yet, but the one I was eying is a toroid.
Thanks again- hopefully I'll have some more details to...

Hey Al,
That's good it is more common than I assumed-
My Techno Isel had the exact same motor on all 3 axes, as well as the old mill I put together years ago (just because I happened to have 3...

Hello All,
I am piecing a new gantry wood router together from my latest ebay scavenging. In doing so, it has got me leaning in the direction of eventually having a bit of variance in the chosen...

It might be the guy in this thread?

Hello, Did you sell the slide? I tried sending an email through your site but haven't heard from you.
Thanks, Mike

I love these! I have always been drawn to fractals. This is inspiring, especially since there are UPS trucks headed my way- from all over, with surplus ebay parts destined for my upcoming router...
