lemontart - a call for help with s curve, ui's, and all the cool toys

That link says modbus. also the price is more than 3 full ethercat ac servo kits.

But still neat.

I'm 4200km from vancouver.

Lichuan CL57E-4A en.xlichuan.com/product-xq/202.html is a ethercat stepper motor driver for four motors.
Have only seen them sold in kit with four motors though.
If you have more time than money I have complete build-yourself-a-drive plans and software, 4 drives on a pcb.

is there a link for that?


Disregard, I think I just found it:
github.com/MetalMusings/MyOwnEtherCATDevice

I'm using and recommending jss (stepperonline) ethercat servos.
if people want to live in the past that on their own time hahaha
j/k

There's lots of ethercat offerings which is nice. JMC has integrated servos and steppers. The hitch with lemontart is the fit is tight, especially for the z.

Everything it coming together though nicely. I hope in january we can start seriously working on the control aspects.

You have to check the part number for ethercat (ECX=ethercat)

So, just to side track a little....

Where would you stick the control? Assume the machine is open, cause its a wood machine.

Would you put an arm on the machine frame, our would you put it on the stand? I feel like cause the stand is optional/variable, mounting it to the machine is better. off to the right side (viewed from the front) vertical 15" capacitive touch. with a little printed housing for a clusters of physical buttons and e stop.

Thoughts?
