If anyone is new to soldering, you should seriously consider using 60/40 Tin Lead Solder with a rosin core. It works at cooler temperatures, it's easier to form a joint and has proven itself to be more reliable than leadfree solder in hand soldered applications. As long as you wash your hands after soldering, there is no danger to lead exposure. This is an awesome project. James, you have done an excellent job explaining & documenting this huge improvement to change gear based metal lathes.

@@Clough42 Good day James. Yes exactly like that. I have managed to find a bunch of them based on Arduino's and they seem great and many people have put in some great open source style work for all to use. but i'd love to have one supercharged and slightly more modernised, perhaps with the ability to be more flexible in its application. e.g. for more applications then just cutting gears, like: rotary indexing for photography and all its desired rotary functionality, rotary weld indexer, rotary indexing for 3D Scanning tables and possibly even apply it to a linear positioning so it could be used for camera sliders all in one seems they are very similar in their programming uses. i think all those features might make it "hard" ;) I have a video of me 3D Scanning on my channel, this is what i'm in the process of setting one of the arduino based ones up to use for first (then if i managed to get it working i will then, time permitting, apply it to a welding rotator and then eventually photography turntable and/or slider). The thing that lead me to find your channel was your thumbnail withe the rotary encoding and its direct relation to rotating a motor. I was thinking this was something i wanted to play with to add features/functionality to a rotary index table so one could use a Job Wheel style input device and an encoder to have the table job directly to user set-able resolutions around a circle. Perhaps not many use cases in teh real world.. but a great thing try and learn to do hence why you have a new sub that has binged watched for a week! But way out of my depth when it comes to coding!

Working with the controller side is a waste of time if I'm waiting for James to produce his boards, mostly because the software's already proven.2. Time should instead be spent on the mechanical side of things: getting the encoder and servo mounted with pullies and belts. That's being done now, on a Takisawa TSL-800 lathe.

Decades ago, I worked at Cincinnati Microwave, maker of the Escort, Passport, and other radar detectors. They have wave soldering for the discrete stuff, and pick and place for through and surface mount, and ovens to bake, and a full PCB manufacturing setup. I used to go watch it at lunch time. Most of the items being made were contract stuff, as they didn't need that big of a line to make radar detectors. So in one huge building, they went from boxes of bits and sheets of blank copper-clad PCB to radar detectors, and sales and shipping were also "in-house". Unheard of today. But one of the owners sought to diversify, and thought that satellite TV dishes (the big ones!) and receivers was the way to go. Oh, well; we got Siriusly hurt. I had some boards made [elsewhere] in the USA back then for a niche project, just 500 of them, and they were literally 50% of the cost of my product. But well worth it, because after soldering about five boards I'm bored. As soon as I have some free funds, I'm gonna add this to my lathe/mill combo that never had any threading (or even feed). The lathe/mill was a gift, and it's much heavier than a MiniLathe.

Assembly usually costs very little for a board of that size, even at the U.S. Fabs (there are still a couple in business last time I checked). You just have to make sure they are not selling USA manufacture and then shipping it overseas. I will do the footwork for you if you like and we can try one of these houses with a few boards to see how they do, turn around, etc.

Well, time to jump into the fray ! My Sieg C6 is getting an ELS ! Since there is not much difference between stepper and servo drive, I’ll go with the stepper option just to keep the cost down. I wanted to do this for ages, not so much to cut threads, but to be able to change feed rate easily, plus I reckon it will make the machine quieter because all those noisy gears won’t be needed.

I've watched videos for other successful ELS projects using arduinos, but your concept and execution stands heads and shoulders above. Thanks for the educational content and keep up the fine work. By the way, thanks to your video on troubleshooting and repairing the stage lighting board, it cleared the cobwebs littering my brain since my radar tech days, allowing me to finally dig into my ancient Pioneer SX 1250 receiver and bring her back to life. She is now loud, proud and cranking out the tunes. Many thanks for that!! Now I feel confident about tackling an Interocitor. ;)

Hello James, I did not realise you were going to take this project to this level otherwise I would of mentioned earlier but the launchpad is a development board, i,e, you connect it up to test out your project and once you are happy you use the design files found on the Ti web site page to produce your schematic and pcb only using the parts you require to make your project work. All of the extra bits and pieces you can loose. This has the advantage of greatly reducing the size of the board and all of the interconnects that are required.

I've done that several times. The other consideration if you do that is that the contacts in the connector will be under tension when you heat them, and this could weaken the spring tension, depending on the material and temperature.

Instead of adding the thermal relief to the barrel jack pads, I would replace it with PTH. The company I work for, we have a lot of issues with the SMD. After they go through the reflow oven, the barrel jacks have the same issue you have, where they don't get hot enough. They'll reflow and look good, but the solder joint breaks pretty easily. The other issue is the cost. Depending on the supplier, the SMD barrel jack is $0.40 - $0.65 in quantity, where as the PTH version is

@Clough42 5 жыл бұрын
I considered using a through-hole part. In this particular case, there are header pins on the LaunchPad, directly below the jack, and they would interfere, so it would require a little more redesign. I do have seven vias through the pad, and these typically fill with solder,. This should help with mechanical strength, though I haven't cut through the board to properly inspect the joint. I'm investigating the possibility of running the board through an additional reflow cycle to eliminate the majority of the hand soldering, but I won't have the supplies for that until tonight. Mechanical stress would be a much bigger concern in a consumer product where the jack is connected and disconnected regularly, the product dropped off a table, etc.

I did fill the connection between the voltage regulator tab and the power plane, just to act as a heat sink. The power connector pads are thermally relieved, but there are a total of eight 10-mil connections, 10-mil long, in 1oz copper. That will pass 0.5A current with a 1 degree celsius rise in temperature, which is more than sufficient for this project.

The others look easy too, but I do all my development in eagle, so I can't speak for them. Prices are relatively reasonable, a bit more expensive than China-based companies, but worth it. Great set of videos for the ELS.

Any chance you would sell the bare board? I can handle SMD soldering (by hand down to 0205)

Such a well presented and thought through set of videos. I asked at this projects inception about potential use as a shaft control for a gear hobbing device! Any thoughts?

I don't see why not. At its core, all it does is maintain the position and rotation of one shaft relative to another. I'd have to see the actual application to have more of an opinion on the details.

It is as simple as putting the encoder on the quill of a mill and driving a shaft mounted on the bed, just like all the stepper motor dividing heads use. That allows the use of a helical hob as the cutter, which for gear cutting accuracy is as good as it gets!

I'm ready for this when you are... been following from the start. Has anyone compiled a list of components required in a single spot? I know I can get from the videos, just wondering if theres a formal bill of material

How do I find information to adapt the drivers to support larger servo or stepper? I have a Victor 20 X 40 lathe. I obviously want to order the board, where is that information? Previous video maybe? Thanks

this board does not directly drive the steppers or servos, it sends stepand direction signals to what ever stepper or servo drive you use . so yes this will drive large or small stepper or servo motors.

@@amundsen575 thank you. I am trying to figure out all the parts and pieces I need. So I understand step and direction signals. Is there a website that shows the parts and pieces as a functional diagram?

What are your plans for the display case? I've already started buying the things you suggested on the list. Motors, Encoder, TI Board etc...

I've been thinking about it, but the PCBs have been my priority. The trouble with me producing a bunch of cases is the time involved. I only have a 2200RPM spindle on my mill, so they take a long time to machine and engrave. I'll keep thinking about it.
