    This looks amazing. Just ordered from Elecrow! I was going to use a Raspberry PI with parallel cnc hat and LinuxCNC but this looks far more user friendly! I have enough learning curve as it is with building the machine itself and with trying to learn Fusion… this looks like a great way to handle the controller hardware. I already have the DM542 drivers. In one of your other videos you recommended using the opto isolator board for the limit switches.. is that a good idea with this board as well?

Do you know where I could buy it or what other parts would I need to replicate its functionality? Also, do you know of a good resource to help a beginner understand cnc control, etc. I want to build a small cnc that will host both a roouter/spidle and a leser engraver. Thank you. Charles

      There are some gcode senders that do leveling. This will work with them.

    what is the maxinum speed of the step pulses with all 6 axies running?

    • @engserve
      @engserve  Před 6 měsíci +3

      Generally you can expect about 100-125Khz. It is more about the length of the step pulses than processor speed.

    @rafal7217 Před 3 měsíci

    Hi Barton. I have a few questions for you. I'm currently building a CNC plotter for my client, and although I'm an engineer, I have no experience with CNC machines at all. Right now, I'm looking for a controller, and I know I can do it with Mach, Linux CNC, but your Fluid project and your controller intrigued me because I'm looking for something simple. Hence a few questions: Does the license allow the use of your hardware/software in commercial equipment? Are these solutions stable enough for a machine running daily for 8 hours? The machine is supposed to have 3 axes, Nema 34 motors, a 6kw Hiteco spindle, plus limit switches. Does your controller support Ethernet via cable, or just USB for wired connection? And do you generally think your solutions are suitable for such a commercial machine?

    • @engserve
      @engserve  Před 6 měsíci +3

      It has optos on all the inputs. This helps protect the processor from noise and spikes. The optos are not fully electrically isolated though. There is no secondary isolated power supply.

    I tried multiple cables and verified them working by connecting my phone that got recognized without a hitch. What can I do?
