On the step and direction drives I've used the drive handles the position monitoring and corrects accordingly. The amount of error before the drive faults has, again in my experience, been...
I know. I keep thinking I have it wrong but I listed several scenarios where a loss of position would occur to make sure I wasn't missing something in my understanding. This is the last scenario I...
Well it would seem I'm in the minority of people who use following error. On the CNCDrive DG4S and the Clearpath SD series that I have experience with have a setting based on encoder counts on how...
So I'm converting from CNCdrive DG4s drives to DMM gear. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the DYN4 to work in a way that I'm used to. On the DG4S drives you set an encoder count for the following...
M00 is program stop. MOO is the sound a cow makes:).
M00 is defined everywhere I can find as a program stop not pause. It is a stop in Mach3 and a stop in UCCNC. From what I read Fanuc is the same but I have no direct experience with Fanuc or any other...
A functioning M00 Program Stop would be at the top of my list.
I have just discovered that PP and I think Linuxcnc treats M00 as a Pause rather than the traditional Program Stop. I have a lot of code where I program in an M00 to do things like move a clamp,...
Fixed it. It needs to have an encoder wired up to do any positioning including homing.
You also need to make sure your logic is wired for source and not sink.
Hi
I'm trying to get the homing function working on my WJ200. Here are my settings:
P068 = (00) low speed
P069 = (00)* Forward direction
P070 = ( .2 ) HZ*LS frequency
*
C6 input (*69*)*ORL**...
Hi
I'm looking for the drawbar force for a Brother TC32A BT30 spindle.
Thanks

I have 2 big problems with fusion 360. The fact that they force you to save to their cloud and that you don't own a copy of the software. I work with Rhino. I have archives on MY server going back...
Just bought a UD1-U. Thanks for doing these Weerasak.
Derek
You can export it to your local storage but it can't be directed to save locally. Save and save as will only let you navigate to the cloud. Right now I have my local NAS do hourly version saves to...
Do you have a price figured out yet?
Thanks
Derek
Looks great. Like everyone I'm sure, I would rather wait a little longer for a board you are happy with for sure.
I'm getting pretty close to finishing my ATC that I plan on using this on....
Hi Weerasak
Any kind of updated ETA on these. I'm starting to put together my ATC and i wanted to use this for the IO.
Thanks
Derek
Sounds great.
Thanks
Derek
Here you go. UC-300 ETH with 2 HDBB2 BOBs on ports 2 and 3. Nothing plugged into 1,4 or 5. Machine is out of estop.

Thanks
Derek
Thanks Weerasak
Right now I'm using 2 CNCdrive HDBB2 BOBs on ports 2 and 3 of the 5LPT. That leaves 1,4 and 5 unused. I have yet to find an opto isolated board that will work as a plug and play.
...
Question on the pin layout on ports 4 and 5 of the UB1. Do they match the pin layouts of the CNCdrive 5-LPT board? And if so will this work with the 5-LPT on ports 4 and 5.
Thanks
Derek
It's a dam good thing there are people that don't have that mindset, because if the criteria for DIY CNC was understanding how flyback diodes work then there wouldn't be a market for these breakout...
I never said included. I said offered/supplied:) Offering small items with the BOB at an additional cost just makes good business sense. Selling a radiator hose? Maybe offer clamps as well. Not only...
I'm a big proponent of manufacturers offering/supplying things like this to go along with the products they sell. I want a UB-1. I also want to be able to scroll through a list of recommended items...
Thanks Weerasak
That looks really promising. So I believe what you are saying is even though the UB-1 is not using a flyback diode in the test it would be best practice if one was used.
I would...
Hi Weerasak
The board looks great. I mentioned on the UCCNC page that controlling 12v and 24v solenoid coils on air valves have consistently caused noise issues for me on a variety of boards. Any...
Ball screw mapping is where you calibrate the screw in sections and then the motion controller applies correction depending on what part of the screw you are at. That way it can take into account any...
I had the same problem on 2 different machines. One I had forgot to turn off the power saving option on the usb hub via windows and the other was "apparently" a bad USB cable. It stopped after I...
That's basically what you see with Mach. I really like the idea that one company controls every aspect of the motion. That was part of the appeal.
I quit following Mach4 after I took the leap to...
