Greetings all; The thought has occurred to me that an alternative to using the iffy, and because the pid.error is subject to slight variations due to non- linearities of speeds, making any comp type trip off have a best guess as to when to activate, seems like a SWAG at best.
So, how about a small current transformer around one of the wires leading to the real fuse? Their consistency is good enough the power folks drive their usage meters from them at the heavier load sites. That then needs a way to get it into the machine via a spare pin on the cnc2pc C1G card. E-Stop in most likely. Does anyone have a URL where I could find a toroid suitable for developing a logic level output from a 3 amp current flow, or the math to wind my own? Thanks.
