G'day,
Disclaimer: I am completely new to CAM and CNC, I have no real electronics knowledge, I have got most of my info from this awesome forum.
Looking for some advice here or even a design or even for some lovely person on here to build me what I need (for a fee of course).
I have the Chinese CNC 6040 with a GeckoDrive G540 with a BOB and I want to have homing capability. The PC is running EMC2.
A 5m serial cable will be attached to the BOB in the G540 enclosure and I think the other end of the cable will go to a homing PCB.
I mean I know I need 3 environmentally sealed switches and maybe some other electronics (DB9 connector).
The list of stuff I don't know is alarming me!
The type of switches to use
Wiring the switches up
Placement of the switches
Any extra sticky out bits I need to help trip the switches
If only there was a kit for the 6040!
Thanks for looking and I hope somebody can help.
On the off chance someone is local, I am based in Sydney.
Cheers
Richard
