Sneak Peeks of Future Projects / Random Stuff: www.instagram.com/savvas_papasavva

Started wiring up some input buttons to the enclosure door. They would eventually go to terminals which are all programmable, and could trigger any macro I write. Also wired up a couple 120mm fans as well. But I was mainly dicking about for hours trying to programme an output pin to use as a spindle enable - and as far as I can tell I can't do it without having to write a post processor. I'm trying to decide if I have the energy to do this, or just go back to GRBL. #CNC #DIYcnc #Duet #GRBL #TiredOfCNC

Put a video up about making a drawing attachment for the CNC machine. Should really do some more drawing with it. Link in bio. #Drawings #PenHolder #CNC #DIYcnc #Workshop #Studio #Sketching #Pen #PenPlotter #Antifa #Guernica #Picasso #Politics

Done a little more on the Duet controller today. I wired the frequency drive to the spindle, and got it turning although I had to use a jumper cable on the spindle enable (forward) terminal and digital ground. The RPM of the spindle also noticeably oscillates at certain speeds - which is a problem, and probably due to the generic PWM to 0-10v analogue converter I'm using. There doesn't seem to be a way of limiting the PWM signal voltage directly from the duet itself so these converters are needed. The duet really isn't designed for CNC use, but it's got so much potential. I just hope I don't get bored. The coil thing are the wires to the spindle wrapped around a couple ferrite cores - which act like an EMI filter. #CNC #BoredOfCNC #NeedToFinishSoon #DIYcnc #DuetWifi #Duet2 #CNCcontroller #Workshop #Studio #Automation #Spindle

Here's another one from the weekend, where I started to transfer the electronics into the 600*400*200 ABS enclosure. 240v AC power comes in at the top, and goes via the NVR switch to the frequency drive and RFI filter. On the other side of the RFI filter is the 24v PSU. The 24v DC power goes to a barrier block where it is broken out to the Duet 2 WiFi controller, relay modules, PWM to analogue converter, and inputs barrier block. Still have a couple things to do including rewiring the limit switches and a small 12v PSU for some additional cooling fans. I want to also add some programmable buttons, but haven't decided whether to put those on the enclosure door or a separate console closer to the machine. #SoMuchToDo #Progress #DIYcnc #Duet2 #Duet3D #Electronics #LearnCNC
