Update: After seeing someone use 1524 PWM frequency setting in UC CNC, I tried that and found it gets the RPMs somewhat closer to what I input, but still not good enough. It also keeps the RPMs...

So life got busy and took a long break.. but I am back in full gear on this project! I did make some progress but I am not completely done setting up the spindle to work properly. My previous issue...

The UC300eth-ub1 does have the analog output named AO1 that I am using, the manual for my board says it can output 0-5v or 0-10v but I dont know exactly how to change that. I believe mine is set to...

Spindle wiring

So I am still stuck with a few things in order to get my machine fully operational. The main issue is controlling spindle speed with my UC300eth-ub1. I will post below a few pictures of how exactly...

Thanks! This is a thermaltake D5 pump/reservoir combo with a radiator made for computer cooling systems. I have not stress tested it to see exact max temperatures as I am still troubleshooting a...

Indeed! These clearpaths are really quiet! May I ask how you have your probe set up? Right now, the only probe videos/instructions I can find are linking the probe to a gecko drive (which I dont...

Not just yet. Ill be working on that, VFD programming, and figuring out HLFB still this weekend.

Heres a video of it moving

Great news guys, It was indeed user error as I suspected. The clearpath inputs are vaguely described as "input A" and "input B" to use for step and direction. I set step to A, direction to B,...

Yes, I have reached out to CNC Drive forums (they produce the UC CNC software), Joes CNC forums (where my initial build log is), emailed two different people with the company that makes the...

Yes I do see this list in various places, thanks for posting then! I have double checked it with all of my parameters, so these values should work. Do you have any EMI filters youd recommend for my...

Not yet! But I hope really soon. Here is some background on what I am doing and where I am at:


Welded steel base
8020 X & Y Axis
Joes CNC Z axis
Joes CNC X & Y plates
Nema 34 Clearpath SDSK...

liquid cooling and more electronics

My first hobart welds with shielding gas vs miller multimatic 220 and 3 more years of experience LOL

I had never welded before this project (as probably can be seen in some pics), nor had I done any sort of electronics/wiring of any kind. What I have learned since deciding to give this a shot is...
