Re: RELS project info wanted

Hi, Ralph, There are Constants, Feed, Taper and Thread tables all on separate tabs within the single spreadsheet "RELS_Metric_Calculation sheet_V2-33.ods". Is this what you are referring to? If not,

Hello, All, A new version V2-33 of the spreadsheet has been placed in the Files area. This corrects a minor bug in the previous version. Sketch V2-32 has also been updated, but the only change was to

Just a small correction with regard to the RELS The encoder needs an A and B signal. It only becomes "A quadratic one" if the hardware or software reads it as such. The RELS actually reads an 1800

There isn't one at this moment but I am sure we can pull one together in the next couple of days. As far as the encoder is concerned you have a couple of options. First and best fit an 1800 line

There is a schematic in the files section that shows the parts necessary to interface to the Arduino. Here is a link:

Is there a parts list for the Arduino based ELS? What encoder is everyone using?

Glad you are up and running with the Clough42 system. I have re-loaded the current RELS files to the Files area, I pulled them originally as I determined an error (my fault!). The system will happily

I have the clough42 ELS implemented on my lathe, I got it all wired up and working over the weekend. It works well and was pretty easy to get working. It's a very simple system and that works well for

I tried to find the Gecko motors but they make a lot of things so no luck. I did note they seem to have premium prices. The Trinamic Motor Control 5160 on a Silent Stepper Stick breakout board costs

If that's a USB Pendant then you probably don't enable MPG. I found with my far east one that it wasn't needed. The pendant duplicates key presses. I think¡ John Sent: February-17-20 3:56 AM To:

The 5160 does include a dc step mode which adjusts speed based on load. Ant?

Re: Step #1 Encoder

Be aware that although stallguard sounds like a built in encoder it's only to guard against stalls and allow sensorless homing (maybe one day). Not sure which version this describes, the 5160 is v2,

Re: Step #1 Encoder

Looked through that slide show. Modern drivers do take care of resonance and other issues intrinsic to steppers. They also provide fine positional control as evidenced by astrophotography applications

These particular sticks have been in the pipeline for a long time. We've been waiting for them and now they're here they replace most of the drivers we used to use. They are pretty amazing. I'm

Re: Step #1 Encoder

They can give extra precision up to around 16 microsteps. Providing your gearing is sufficient that the diminished torque works. With the high gear ratios scopes use even higher than 16ms can be

Re: Step #1 Encoder

The Gecko stepper drives, if the rumour is correct, does exactly that. Microstepping a stepper motor does not give better positioning accuracy unless it's close looped with an encoder. That's because

Re: Step #1 Encoder

The cheaper MKS uses the A1333 encoder. At first people all thought it was the lesser encoder, based on the bits. Khalid dug down to the truth. Alex actually bought a pair and did extensive testing.

Re: Step #1 Encoder

From what I can understand, very little, it seems that being able to switch microsteps on the fly changes the practabilty of stepper motors. Of course you still need a suitably sized motor that's up
