Some more progress, changing sewing machine, stepper to back feed stepper type and different style rotating code, it seems 400+ stich/min is possible. Unfortunately this needs special presser foot,...

Maybe some other G-code sender, GRBL newer will jog smoothly, but other sender programs handle things better than others. GRBL panel keeps queue short when doing jogging, combined with wireless...

Suggest to check wiring, it is not uncommon to fry regulator. It can be done simply adding too much accessories or inserting 12V in wrong place. Regulator is rated something like 1.5A but there is no...

Let there be more speed:


https://youtu.be/nKCNEwH6C7w

something around 150-180stich/min, huge leap forward after thinking less microstepping ---> more speed.

Now everything is public to...

Any change if:

Z-2. F150
X-70.842 F450

OR

Using arduino with GRBL controller shield. I think Mach3 is not compatible with USB interface. Best controller software I have found is Grbl Panel, free like many others on arduino platforms....

Yes we can increase speed, actually it did run 100 stitches/minute before. In the video it does probably 1/3 of this, I had to gear it down to get some torque and slow down, sewing machine had some...

So what happens when combine all above things, look no further answer is here

Slow speed teaser

No video at this point, did dismantle nearly everything and currently rebuilding. Reason was too difficult to change or mount hoop. Now everything should be much more nicer and user friendly....

Connect EN- to arduino GND and EN+ to arduino +5V and see what happens.

Have you tested connecting enable wires on tb6560? Otherwise looking like it should do at least something.

It sort of does something :banana:

Wow, I actually need to make some sort of hoop or loop or something. This contraption is sort of ready to do testing :)

Slowly, actually I'm further than this. Belt would be better but difficult to get over here.

Bench testing this https://github.com/fra589/grbl-Mega-5X Response for testing is good, it is very limited what can be tried without connecting to actual movements. But no instant error on basic...

With you and me, there is this miscommunication thing going on, not the first time. Yes of course I'm downloading and testing, this is just my bad habit to ask possible information before jumping on...

Some progress, hope this image is approved size etc etc... Now this contraption needs plywood base and mounting biggest secondhand stepper I have.

Yes I know original version of GRBL will not support and there are many issues with UNO board. I'm starting to make bigger is better tabletop cnc machine ASAP and it would be really handy to have 4th...

Don´t know, but should be doable. It have to be specific machine just for baseball caps, because of somewhat round movement, can´t see why not. This really is interesting topic and still waiting...

Not sure should I call this progress, but at least something visible happened :p

3D printing last piece ATM, I hope my pile of important/awesome pieces hold enough bits and bops to cook...

It seems like some sort tablet is the way to go. My thinking about another arduino board is for bulletproof design, doing only one thing, with tablet etc. there are every time some random variables...

Thinking out again, might be too much time issue.

I have currently 2 GRBL machines and it seems like these little controls are multiplying, sooner or later. I¨m currently 3D printing out some...

Seems like my contraption is going to be belt driven, super simple, easy to make and 50% already done. I´m hoping to make some video or something when all comes together. But still need sewing...

Thanks, it is not that easy to find suitable software, only thing I could find is https://inkscape.org/en/~wwderw/%E2%98%85inkstitch-embroidery-extension inkscape extension. This works, but .DST...

If someone have difficulties to find installation files, post number 852 on this thread might help...

Looking like standard DIY project pox should and this should be very doable. I would make my own arduino program without need for GRBL or other fancy stuff. Problem is to find someone to make this...

This second explanation is better suited, so there is build in canned cycles basically, it will work. If there is no need for CAD/CAM, but how about free shape? Let´s say I need to make V groove...

Now I keep wondering where do you get C axis positions? simplest lathe cam don´t support C axis and it is more milling work with milling cutters. I understand how GRBL drives spindle, but where...
