Re: #CNC #CNC

 

Ralph.

All new versions of firmware applicable to V3 are also updating my V2.

Ref CNC lathe, the stepper drivers to the ELS are also wired into the CNC?
controller with separate?cables.?
I just unplug the ELS cable, plug in the other cable to the CNC box.

But keeping the stepper driver "dip switch" settings common for both.

The CNC has it?s own parameter settings for about 120 options.
The ELS settings are set in the Arduino firmware.
Previously before I had the 2nd CNC controller dedicated to the lathe, I inserted a USB stick into
the controller, with a choice of 4 files containing Mill metric set ,mill Imp set, lathe metric set, lathe imperial set.
by selecting which you needed it changed the internal settings?to suit,
then used the same cables that fed the mill X and Z axis steppers and plugged these into the?lathe?stepper.
All fittings on the steppers use? 4 pin Q/R plugs.

Hope this helps.

Thanks again John, wow lots and lots of choices.?

What does the work flow look like?

Could I still just do automated movement of X Y & Z without full CNC.

I see there is a Version 3.1.

How are you using the DDCSV2.1 on your lathe? Are you using it in conjunction with #RELS?

John, where/how does one purchase? DDCSV2.1, I can see their website but there is no Store.

I suppose I could call them their number is listed.

New month, new topics.
This maybe of interest to the CNC members.


I have 2 of these controllers, DDCSV2.1 installing 1 on my mill and the other on the lathe.(new).
Naturally steppers and drivers are needed for the machines.
For the price and availability I strongly recommend these? CNC controllers.
Easy to install , 4 axis , optional MPG ( manual pulse generator) .Also able to edit files etc with a remote wifi standard keyboard.
But paramount in my opinion is the technical support coming out of China and is exceptional.
There chief engineer is Yt Liu, and yes he is an ex rocket scientist.
2 usual ways to contact the company engineers with problems and questions,either Facebook and also the have there own forum site (currently being revamped).
I ask a question today, get a reply within 24 hours.If you need facebook invites, just contact me.

I have been using the mill CNC 3 axis for several months,with all the common CNC commands you would expect from Fanuc/Haas/fadal etc,
and only this week I used the A axis (indexing) cutting a few gears.on what was my Step indexer via a Arduino system.
but now it?s CNC and all hands off.
i have no financial interest or gains form DDCNC just letting you know what is out there for hobbyists.
Still sorting out the post processor for the lathe off my Mastercam to talk to the lathe,I am almost there.I will keep the group informed.
See attached photos.
Hope of interest.
