Controlling DC Motors with Encoders in LinuxCNC

[@superabbasalmani6079]

Great Lesson from a great Maker & young Teacher ! Thank you very much !

[@DaveNorthWest]

You are smart! This is cool I want to set one of these up also and convert my mill to closed loop

[@ankithmistry]

I found this setup/discovery so brilliant, but it has limitation that motor brushes gets clogged soon and its pain to maintain... Is it possible to hook encoders with stepper motors?

[@continentecnc8807]

Man, I love LinuxCNC!

[@sebaschtl9710]

thousand thanks! great explaination.

What PC are you exactly using so you're getting such a low latency numbers?

[@ipadize]

0:39 not in space, but how much it has turned ;) (moved in space would be at least 3 axis)

[@SciCynicalInventing]

You're right! and its not just there where I mess up with my words, I sometimes say "power" when i mean "voltage" but I'm aware of that!

[@RinksRides]

movement in space is relative to 4 dimensions, X/Y/Z/T (TIME). time is always moving, so moving any other axis would be relocating something in a space movement. Jus sayin.

Hello there, can I control dc motor with encoder by 2 line the first one is pulses for steps and the second one is (0,1)for direction?

[@MiniCasaBrasileira]

Nice video, thanks for share, there is possible if i do use another type of motors? like motor from glass car, or a motor the fan the radiator?

[@DreitTheDarkDragon]

You know you could probably just use two optocouplers acting as AND gate, right? Direction signals into diodes and PWM signal to collectors -> one of emmiters should give you PWM depending on direction.

How did you find a main board with a parallel port these days ?

Hi, may I ask for an advice: i have stepper motor from dvd rom. It has 4 wires, meaning I could connect only 2 motors (via L298n) to control via parallel port. However, I seen youtube videos on using in-build floppy drivers in which case you need only 2 parallel port pins.. is there a way to set up motor so (2 wires in port) using L298n controller?

[@steveeparsonsjr7929]

Genius...

[@masar-at]

any updates ?

[@SciCynicalInventing]

Sorry for the late reply, I actually built 2 drawing robots based on stepper motors a little before this video was made and after this video got uploaded I ordered the appropriate DC encoder controller chips that the configuration in LinuxCNC used. The next video following this one will be making a drawing robot based on DC encoders!

@@SciCynicalInventing this is awesome man, I can't wait to watch it and apply it. Thanks man

How to download CNC softwer

[@SciCynicalInventing]

You just have to download the linuxCNC .ISO file and put it on a usb with a program like rufus so you can boot from it.
