More information about ski and snowboard construction can be found atįor an overview of how to use and configure Monke圜AM. Monke圜AM creates nine G-Code programs to cut all parts of a ski or snowboard on your CNC machine. See the tour for an overview of the site. The easiest way to use Monke圜AM is at Monke圜AM.org. Portion is slightly more general, but again is specialized to ski and Of Monke圜AM is quite limited, and is specifically designed to aid the Maybe they'd put a system with this together for you.Monke圜AM v4.0 is an open source CAD/CAM program for designing skis
#DESKCNC CONTROLLER CODE#
Is this because the controller takes G code and doesn't give you step and direction access? In which case, what about this widget: I take it you don't want one of the Microproto CNC Taigs? These motors are interesting: allegedly high spec, but no proper data sheet:
#DESKCNC CONTROLLER DRIVER#
There's plenty to consider in trying to choose optimum motors - torque and inertia, inductance and rated voltage & current along with desired speed, acceleration and driver budget. This in the UK is fine for low speed work, but really won't match any of the others for high speed stuff (the drive voltage isn't high enough to overcome the motor's inductance quickly). Gecko drives are well respected, but they're very expensive (you'd need one of these per axis ) and again they don't come with a power supply and are probably overkill unless you're going for really high torque motors. What's the catch? Xylotex can't export to the EU because of the RoSH regulations (they're not lead free yet, maybe the US will catch up eventually.). A great drive is under development by a guy called Kreutz on CNCzone, but it isn't a packaged unit with a power supply.
Similarly the drive isn't the highest performance, but it seems competent. The motors aren't the most powerful around, but there's a trade-off: larger motors have more low-speed torque, but also more inertia, which can reduce acceleration. I've had a look around, and the simplest option seems to be the 3-axis kit from Xylotex (or 4axis if you want room for expansion) The controller takes G-code and generates all the pulses itself, thus removing the possibility of improving this crappy interface.Īlso, there's this guy who's built one in his New York apartment For example, rather than sending the signal, "pulse now", it sends the signal "pulse when your clock reaches time XXX ms" The pulses are all generated by the computer, but their precise timing is delivered by the controller. The pulses need to be delivered real-time from the computer's parallel port - in which case it needs to run DOS or realtime linuxcnc. Stepper motors have a lot of drawbacks, but would be suitable for the Mark 1 version just to get something working. There is an importer in Birmingham Motors The leading component appears to be which is also available as part of the package.
