9.12.2016 - Danny Blanchard: Normally Open (NO) Homing switches installed on X, Y, and Z-axis. Positive Z-axis stop plate installed to prevent top of spindle from crashing at the top of it's travel. Each axis has been wired with a 330ohm resistor connected to 5vdc, as seen here: ( https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-FhXABwKcb-I/UvMhBLTESlI/AAAAAAAADCI/kfE-f7jkrwc/s800/cnc_limit_switch_c3.png), and each switch is connected to ground. X is yellow wire, Y is blue wire, Z is orange wire, and ground is black wire. V-wheels and rails all cleaned with a toothbrush: lots of gunk (smooshed wood dust, I believe) on the anodized rails. Also replaced some twist-nuts with solder/heatshrink connections, but there is still more to do in that regard. | |||
The motion control board (GRBLShield, pronounced "girr-ble, gerbil, or garble: whichever you prefer") is currently running GRBL v0.8C, and I'm having some difficulty getting the homing direction invert setting ($18) to produce any change. Currently the axis move in the positive direction (away from a lower LH zero home) when the $H command is sent, but changing the $18 value from 0 to 1 makes no change. I'm considering compiling the newest version of GRBL, v0.9J, as the versions since 0.8c have addressed various homing bugs which I believe we're currently experiencing. So next step is to compile and flash using the Arduino IDE, and go from there. | |||
9.8.2016 - Danny Blanchard: Drag chain bracket installed, new lock washers installed (machine can now travel freely until it crashes... :). GRBL shield and Arduino Uno were removed and bent/disconnected pins repaired (likely due to rough handling?). E-stop switch backing nut tightened. Machine ran fine on Easel and with GRBL Controller, but it still needs work (below). | 9.8.2016 - Danny Blanchard: Drag chain bracket installed, new lock washers installed (machine can now travel freely until it crashes... :).
