CNC Control Panel - Winter Project

2 winters later and I've finally managed to get the panel finished. Some minor details are still missing, but it's enough to work properly.
I got the frame milled and anodized for me, as my CNC mill is too small for some parts and I don't have the tools to anodize them anyway.

The main part is the 22" touchscreen display. On the bottom part there are 3 dedicated buttons for spindle left/stop/right and 2 rotary encoders for feed and spindle overrides.
Also22 function keys that can be mapped to any function via HAL_INPUT. They also have a WS2812 LED each, so they can be illuminated in every RGB color individually. The LED control will be done via the Serial Port and a Python script.
The joints between the display and the keyboard allow for preferred adjustment.

I'm pretty happy on how it turned out, it really makes working with the Weiler a lot more enjoyable. The reworked GUI is still in progress, but that will take some more time as I have more important projects going on right now.

 
 
 

Funny, I just finished my Panel as well:



It communicates with LinuxCNC via Modbus, with a STM32 Nucleo board running a simple Modbus server: github.com/hansu/ModbusIO/tree/devel

 

 

Very cool guys. .

Excellent work.
