Homemade, cheap, plasma CNC

I can't wait for the next episode!

Hmm, this shed did look a bit familiar. Glad you are on track now . Your final home and limit switched look great compared to the dodgy ones we rigged up when I was there.

I'm just glad the smoke did not escape while I was on site to be blamed!

Thanks Guys,

Still working on the fine tuning of the settings, I'll post up where with my settings when I get a chance. It was a mission working through creating the settings from nothing and I still think that I have a fair way to go to improve the cutting.

I spend today working through trying to get the wifi bridge setup in the shed (to no avail). and trying to get sheet cam installed on the CNC pc (with no internet connection - to no avail as well).

Hopefully tomorrow I might get somewhere. In the meantime I did some cutting, tweaking settings between each cut.

The best way to build a wifi bridge is with two of these

At the shed end, just connect it to a switch and go from there. You might need to add another wifi access point (or connect it to a router with wifi)
We ran a 800 m link like this for 10 years trouble free.

that's interesting www.4gon.co.uk/ubiquiti-airmax-nanostation-loco5ac-p-7087.html

I have struggled for years to get a decent network signal in the garage (30m) and have had various homeplug / powerplug adapters.... with intermittent results.

unfortunately the broadband is at the front of the house, and the garage at the rear ..... I've been avoiding running a below ground ethernet cable as it's a pia with tree roots.... but I can probably run a neat external ethernet poe connection to two of those

No probably. They just work! For a short leg, you might need to dial the signal strength down. We used a 5G link in some public spectrum not used by run of the mill networks but its a bit busier now for sure! Where James is, its in the bush so the cheaper 2.4 g one will be fine as there will be little contention. Plus he should be able to let other devices use the wifi at the house end.

I just set them up in my office side by side, stuck on one my roof and took one over to my son in law attached to a bit of a mast and we had signal with it leaning up against the wall. Once mounted up we had the full 150 mb available which is faster than our broadband
