PCB is Open Source too: • SmartPendant for grblH... Source code for this project can be found there: github.com/nic... Board description can be found there: github.com/Dev... For purchase: devtronic.squa...
This is incredible, thanks! Many users can benefit from this project 👍 If you mind, I do have some feature request to make it a streamline option: - Do you think a gcode preview is feasible ? - Multilingual support would be really nice too
If you want to know what a SmartPendant for grblHAL is, it's a device to manually control a CNC machine (like Nicolai has in the background.) More information on his pendant is available here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-z-IoQAUr2qA.html
Hi, nice project. Iam working on something simmilar, but I want to use ESP32 as controller and SD will be mounted, but gcodes will be on S3 server that I self hosted or trough some API server and when I run code it will coppy it to SD and that run it from SD.
Hello Mr. I see that the XYZ axes are always in mm can I put the reading in degrees as if they were 3 horizontal indexers and maybe add more axes or indexers as A B C and if you can also add a speed regulator to the head or Motor? it is for a Nema 17 notor with a reducer with a ratio 100/1 I have 3 motors and their reducers to be indexers in degrees thank you
This looks excellent! Excuse my ignorance but is there a file available somewhere on the git page to be able to print the circuit board (or order from PCBWay etc.)? I can see the schematic but not the board.
At first my plan was to make open source software and keep the PCB to sell those devices to fund my hobby. Now I am reconsidering this approach - there are some complications with shipping outside the US - shipping is expensive(for example to ship to Norway cost about $33) and local taxes(like 23% VAT in the EU) will make the price way too high than I would like($100 + shipping for a finished device). I will probably make a PCB open source soon.
@@NicolaiLab Thanks for the reply. I understand perfectly. If you have a way to sell a pendant or just the board or even the board drawing so that I can have one manufactured, I’d be more than happy to pay a decent price for it! Let me know if you’d be open to it.
I designed a board use the fluidnc, does it support? or SmartPendant only use the UART comunication? the fluidnc use the IIC to comunication to Pendant
It doesn't support FluidNC at the moment. Why I2C? According to this page: wiki.fluidnc.com/en/config/uart_sections "UART channel create a new Grbl interface on a UART. This is designed for displays, pendants and external controllers", so technically it should be possible to add FluidNC support into SmartPendant and connect it via UART.
