I ran a 45 minute cut off a laptop (just a worst-case test) and no problems. I believe it can go up to a 20mhz osc with the chip running at 48Mhz. Plenty of speed in reserve if it's needed. Simple interface to G540, Relay boards, etc.Įxtremely simple board based on a very fast MPU. "Calibration" mode that figures out the steps per inch/mm for each axis for you (Very handy for us with multiple machines).Ĭan save settings for each setup, if you have more than one machine, or want to save inch and mm settings (at least that 's what I'll use it for).įirmware updates built in with releases of new PC software (Hold down Jog A+ while you power up controller and you enter firmware update mode) I only found this out as I was pounding all the inputs/outputs at the same time just to see how well it ran). Jog controls that allow you to move the machine without being connected to a PC or having the control software runningĭedicated Min and Max limit switches for each axis (including A) (Note: can't use the A min limit switch if you use the I2C pins for an LCD display option currently. If you don't want to fool with Mach3 on a single or dedicated machine like a PhlatPrinter, I think this is a great solution! I have my license and a controller (DIY breadboard, as I had the parts in stock) up and running.
