I still have to finalize my control panel. It is still just a piece of plexi-glass with knobs and dials stuck through it. :) I would like to make up a pendant (maybe using a arduino uno and usb) because it would be nice to be able to jog the machine from the other side. I had tweeked the ladder logic for the tool arm a bit but the problem was mainly a incorrectly adjusted flow valve.
Other than that - the machine is been rock solid. I have only had 2 tool changes out of hundreds and hundreds that have stuck and that was before the valve adjustment and it hasn't failed since. (It was supposed to slow the arm down before it hit the line up pin - but it was turned down so far that the only think making the arm hit the line up pin was the momentum. So sometimes tools of radically different weights would cause it not to line up perfectly. Hydraulics - got to love them ;) After running it for quite a few months I would say that I am very very happy with it. Linuxcnc has performed flawlessly. sam On 2/28/2012 4:23 AM, Mark Wendt wrote: > I think you need a bigger, faster, stronger mill... ;-) > > So, does this mean everything is now up and running on the old girl? > > Mark > > On 02/27/2012 10:49 PM, sam sokolik wrote: >> Random video! >> >> http://youtu.be/U61ub6mtpH4 >> >> (we don't like the idea of the probe spinning around in the tool >> changer.....
