  1. Re: A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    Mark, I agree that what I presented in it's present state isn't a functional program, but it's the start of one.

    Because I too do some programing, such as this command-line stepper utility with...
  2. Re: A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    The proceeding seems contradictory.

    I spent 3 months working on the interface design, often over 20 hours a week. That and the valuable feedback and suggestions I got is why the response has been...

    Hi automationtechinc, I am trying to find some help to work on it.

    It's interesting that you are suggesting that I not take one or two people seriously, and yet, you are here working his thread chapter and verse.

  6. Re: A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    Wendtmk, I agree that there were a lot of helpful suggestions from the forum. There was also someone on the forum, heckling me with every post, and yes, he had supporters. At least one of his posts...
  7. Re: A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    Wendtmk, respectfully, some of LinuxCNC's web documentation isn't even on webpages. I am not sure of the documentation history, but it appears as if it were meant to be a book at one time, judging by...
  8. Re: A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    Dozens of users wrote that they welcome another interface design. There seem to be two others interested in it now.

    Wendtmk, respectfully, I suspect that there are individuals who strongly want...
  9. Re: A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    Hi, I do reply : )

    For far, it's just a mock-up, I was trying to get people behind it at LinuxCNC, but I have found quite the contrary.
    You may not know that LinuxCNC has off-forum meetings, and...
  10. A New Widescree-Touch LinuxCNC User Interface Proposal

    Hi,

    For the last few months, I have been working to design a graphical user interface for LinuxCNC. I am not a programmer, and I have been focusing on the design, and getting input from the...

    Re: Huanyang 4kw Goes POP! Any Ideas?

    Do I see discoloring on the low voltage terminal strip?

    Are there any wire strands joining your terminals?

    This may sound strange but how does the VFD boards smell?
    Does is smell acrid?...

    Re: Spindle Limit Switch Interference

    30v is a lot of induced current. Could you instead have a ground loop if some kind?
    Is the limit switch cables shielded?

    Re: Huanyang Chinese VFD settings and manual here!

    I installed some MOVs across the power filter pins. I am going to order some with a higher Joule rating, but for now, these should be better than nothing. I put them past the common-mode low-pass...

    Re: Huanyang Chinese VFD settings and manual here!

    It has been my tested observation the RST does not works when set to stop works with "operator" panel controls. Perhaps they updated the firmware. From what I have read there is (in my opinion) also...

    Re: Huanyang Chinese VFD settings and manual here!

    Thanks Al. That's good to read. I am on a fixed income, and the idea of choosing between a second wave of flying carbide and a $150 box is not a happy choice. I don't mind if the spindle has to wind...

    Re: Huanyang Chinese VFD settings and manual here!

    @Al_The_man, thank you for the reply.

    Though, what I want is a Estop that works irrespective of RS485, while I am using RS485.
    My general feeling is: a serial bit-banged Estop is no Estop.

    Re: Huanyang Chinese VFD settings and manual here!

    Seeing that I am here....

    So, is it impossible to do a proper EStop with a Huanyang VFD?

    The manual states: no contractor.
    Connecting RST to DCM, with PD046 set to 4 (stop) will apparently NOT...

    Re: Huanyang Chinese VFD settings and manual here!

    FYI, this may help someone.

    I've found that by lowering the current from MY MOTOR's SPEC 8.5A to 7A in a vain effort to keep from tripping a breaker, my motor would only turn a few RPM, but did...

    Re: Spindle Questions Dujour

    I am at a loss what to do as far as an EStop.

    If it is true that the Huanyang VFD will die if it loses power. Then there can be no real emergency stop.
    Oddly because I rent, I will be plugging in...

    Re: Spindle Questions Dujour

    The manual has issues: it often does not state what settings pertain to: motor voltages, motor frequency, VFD source supply, VFD source frequency, PWM voltages, PWM frequency.

    The manual is crap....

    Re: Spindle Questions Dujour

    I contacted the seller, who stated that the 110v 2.2kw 200x80 ER20 motor has two poles.
    I would have felt better seeing a factory spec sheet.

    I am not sure what to do about the ground wire. I can...

    Spindle Questions Dujour

    I have a 110volt Huanyang Spindle motor and VFD, the "2.2KW" one.
    (I wanted the larger because it has ER20, you know, for 1/2 router bits. I don't mind limiting the current on it. Anyway...)

    Recycled CNC Project

    Hi,

    I've been making a CNC router/milling machine, mostly made from parts from wafer-fabrication machines. Most of it is done now, except for the spindle motor.

    Re: Still Tripped Up On Spindle Motors

    Awerby, thank for the reply.

    Fortunately, aluminum was what I was looking to mill for metals.

    My home-made gantry mill is pretty stout. The x-axis alone weights around 60 lbs, the Z about 32,...

    Still Tripped Up On Spindle Motors

    Hi,

    My homemade milling machine is almost done, and I am not sure about a spindle motor.
    I see myself milling a mixture of metal and hardwood (maple), on a fairly tough 3'x4' gantry mill.

    Re: Metal / Wood Spindle

    Yes, you are correct. AFAIK, I have not seen anything over 3/8" for ER16. I wish they made a lower speed, higher torque spindle motor, perhaps even with a R8 collet. If I found an R8 head just laying...
