Modular CNC Controller DDCSV1.1

[@CNC-Time-Lapse]

I'm building my own CNC right now and I love how you turned the controller into a pendant. I use to work for FANUC Robotics and it reminded me very much of their "Teach Pendant" for controlling a robot. I'm thinking I might want to do the same as you. I love it! Thanks for the inspiration.

[@BrainRight]

Great, I hope it works well for you.

[@barryroe6035]

Very nice, I like the layout of your design. You were thinking well ahead in your concept. I need one just like it for my old gerber system 48. Thanks for the video

Thanks Bill - my name is Jay and my channel name is the same as my web site, BrainRight.com but it's easy to misread that as "Brian". Glad you found the video worthwhile.

I like this video. .. You really give a great idea for my homemade cnc router controller.. But if you don't mind I want to ask you a question : Is this controller more functional than the hand controller DSP A11.. Thank you for advise. .

[@erichbevensee2203]

Does the unit supports extra G or M coded additional to those shown on user manuals. I have the hardware setup, thank you in part to your valuable documented videos, and I am willing to add pauses to my program, create a loop and have the cycle waiting for a push button (digital input) without have to use the start button on the display every time. Any help or walkaround would be much appreciated.

[@Madeinoz1967]

nice job! I've just picked up one of these controllers and may look at implementing your great idea, thanks for sharing

[@BrainRight]

Thanks Stephen, good luck with your project.

[@anlpereira]

My next CNC machine will be assembled with such Offline controller. Great viedo

[@BrainRight]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@EugeneVashenko]

Hi Jay. Nice job & vid. I am contemplating buying one of these as they appear to be a nice, compact and capable controller. However having read the manual, I see no reference to M6. How do you handle toolchanges? Also, any idea if the inputs can be programmed to perform functions other than those labelled?

[@BrainRight]

Hi Eugene, I don't have an automatic tool changer so I generate a separate G-code file for each tool, and change the tool manually before running the next file. I'm not aware of any alternate functions for the inputs other than what's in the manual. There are a couple of general-purpose outputs controlled by G-code that are nominally "coolant" and "lube" but could be used for other purposes.

[@jeskelson123]

Very clean. Nice work, thank you for sharing.

[@aparfeno]

Nice video. But I don't understand why go through all this trouble to get rid of Mach3+PC? This type of dedicated controller makes sense in industrial settings when you plug a flash drive with already-tested g-code and run machine all day. But in my hobby workshop I constantly go between CAD-CAM-Mach3. Having to copy the gcode to a flash drive in order to make a small adjustment is a big hassle.

[@LATIFProductionLearning]

hi great video great work its every thing clear , but why you choose this controller ?

[@Peeseebeeb]

I have watched both the construction and wiring videos but am still confuse.My controller is a different one from yours (a TOPCNC TC55H) but I suspect that I will finally work out a comparison between I/O connectors between the two. However, my query is where do the two D-Sub connectors go to? I have 2 machines. One is a custom built machine running Mach3 and the second is a cheap chinese, arduino based machine which I will eventually upgrade to use 6600 stepper drivers instead of the toy ones on the arduino.

[@CATZTIMBER]

Hi Brain I'm using your DDCSV11 post-processor and it works great with Fusion thank you. Have you put any thought to the 4th axis, I have tried but can't get the A axis to work. Steven

[@BrainRight]

Hi Steven, the post-processor should work with the A axis if you set the angle in your Setup in the CAM workspace, i.e. to rotate the part to a specific angle and then machine a 2D or 3D toolpath at that angle. It may also work using a wrapped toolpath, i.e. to rotate the part while machining around the circumference, but I did very minimal testing of that mode so it may not be exactly right. The internal interface is different for those two approaches and it may need more work. Do make sure you have the latest version that's on my web page, as I did post an earlier version without any A axis support at all. If it's not working then I'm willing to work on it but I may not get to it for a while. Jay

[@marcelpieterse1]

Hello Brain. I have the same problem with the A axis. It is not rotating. I download the latest post processor from your site, but it is not working. When i read the gcode there is no A command. Can you check the link to the post proccesor . Greetings Marcel

[@jamiewilliams8469]

Awesome video! Do you know if ddcsv is capable of doing a constant velocity mode with the jog wheel?

[@BoyanSilyavski]

very nice idea about the enclosure for the controller. I wish i have done that. Now when i cut something at the back of my 3m table, i have to go back and forth :-)

[@BrainRight]

Thanks, I hope you can implement something similar in your setup. Originally I looked at the many pendants that are available, which I could have wired up and might be an easier option for you, but I realized that the whole controller wasn't much bigger than a typical pendant so I just made it all in one box.

[@lexczad411]

Very nice and clean construction ! Thank You for inspiration :)

[@cncexe]

Now the controller was upgraded to a new version. The new version supports NPN Switch and General MPG. www.amazon.com/dp/B074FVNCTV

[@alanhardman2447]

Very professional! And well thought out...

[@DieselRamcharger]

no the DDream powered devices are flawed. well documented. google it.

[@CATZTIMBER]

Morning Jay The new Fusion update supports simultaneous 4th axis toolpath. In Fusion generic post there is a New Generric Fanuc inverse time and A-axis post processor that supports Wrap Toolpath. In the code you can see A-axis cordanets but using the DDCSV11 post-processor the A-axis code is not generated. I have tried to use the Fanuc post processor but my CNC machine just looked at me. I thought in could use Fanuc post processor, maybe there is a setting somewhere.

[@newfabinc.6043]

Jay - I am wondering if you are still using the DDCSV1.1 controller and if you are satisfied with it. I am also wondering if the controller can be set to use English measurement system. If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.

[@AntiVaganza]

I, too, would love to hearJay's thoughts on it now that it might have been in extended use.

[@makeCNCWorkshops]

what do you use for a post processor for programs like Vectric aspire?

[@rapppaa]

hello!! i am building a cnc miling and i want to ask, do you prefere the ddcsv2.1 or an usb controller with mach3? sorry for my bad english. thanks!

[@gyhembree]

Great Video, how to do similar set up on 16 x 30 victor lathe, cost, etc

[@BrainRight]

This particular controller is designed for an X-Y-Z machine but you might be able to adapt it to a lathe. I don't have experience doing that however.

[@GPTOmidi]

Greeting Jay I looked at your videos with a big admiration Bravo for your CNC splendid realisation. I also constructed CNC with a table 100 cm X 70 cm with a brooch of 2,2 Kw, I plan to change my INSPECTOR SMC4-4-16A16B for another model DDCSV1. 1 or RMHV2. 1 is who seems to be the same, pouriez you to say to me the difference which there is on these 2 models Still bravo and thank you for distribution.

[@mariogiannuzzi]

Hello Jay great job. Can i ask to you help to connect my spindle's inverter to the Ddcsv1.1? I have doubt if i must use a relay for start signal or not? Can you tell me somethings?? Thanks a lot

[@BrainRight]

Hello Mario. I did not use a relay to connect my spindle controller. I just connected the GND and spindle-enable signals from the DDCSV1.1 directly to the GND and START signal inputs of the VFD that runs my spindle. I cannot say whether that would work with your particular VFD though. Also, it does connect the GNDs of the controller and VFD so there can be a ground loop going from AC mains ground to the VFD ground to the DDCSV1.1 ground to the DC power supply and back to AC mains. This may not cause a problem in practice, and in my case the ground loop is quite short and so far I have seen no problems because of it, but it is something to consider carefully in your installation. If I start seeing any erratic operation I will consider adding a relay to electrically isolate the two systems. It is relatively simple for the spindle-start signal but much more complicated for the 0-10V signal that sets the spindle speed, where an optoisolator would be needed. None of this is absolutely necessary for a CNC router though. In the beginning I just set the speed manually on the VFD and started it before running a program and that works fine, but I prefer to have it controlled automatically.

[@mariogiannuzzi]

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer. I think that for the moment i will connect just the start and stop signal and in the future i will connect also the 0-10v for speed control. Thanks again. Regards

[@rusticagenerica]

Looks awesome ! Thank you

[@diogonegreti6423]

Good morning, I'm brain Right, I'm from BRAZIL, I got a DDCSV2.1 controller, I bought the MPG controller, but I'm having difficulty setting the micro switches on the x, y, z axes and also want to configure, STOP, PAUSE, START , I do not know if I can connect together with the PGM, the pc has already been able to connect, I connected the wires, and nothing happened, need to configure on the device? If you can help me, I'm very grateful.

[@carlpiece]

Hi there, I hope that you can help me i got a trouble with this controller which It's the next : I´ve calibrated every axes and manual mode goes correctly with a correct measurement , however when i upload a Gcode, the axis Z has an incremental error, when i set up the home and the gcode runs, the z axis goes up and down to mill the piece and every time that the axis z goes down, the point home of Z axis looks as if it it resets and start lower, i checked the gcode in another machine which runs with mach3 to verify if the gcode works correctly and the same gcode works correctly, i hope your response, thanks!!

[@Linrox]

@Brainright Did you buy the jog parts separate or did you change the jog controller that comes with the DDCS unit

[@marknoll6987]

Hi Jay, I am running Vectric Aspire. Do you know what post-processor would work with the DDCSV1.1? From what I have read the Fanuc does not. I have searched hi and lo and have found little on what post will work with this unit. Thanks in advance for any help. Mark

[@BrainRight]

I use Vectric VCarvePro, which I believe uses the same post-processors as Aspire. I have not yet tried using VCarvePro with the DDCSV1.1, but I wrote a post-processor for Fusion 360 that generates G-code compatible with the original CNC Shark controller, by following the example G-code output from Vectric, and I found that the same post-processor works with the DDCSV1.1. Therefore I would expect that the standard CNC Shark post-processor for Vectric would also work with the DDCSV1.1. The only adjustment that I needed to make to the G-code was to add an M5 instruction at the end of the file to turn the spindle off. The original Vectric post for CNC Shark only outputs M2 to end the program, which stops the router on the original shark controller, but that leaves the spindle running on the DDCSV1.1. Again, I have not yet tried this myself, but I would expect that adding the "M05" line to the end of post-processor as shown below is all you need to do. In my case the relevant file is "C:\ProgramData\Vectric\VCarve Pro\V7.5\PostP\CNCShark-USB_Arcs_mm.pp" and your path will be slightly different but should be similar. +--------------------------------------------------- + Commands output at the end of the file +--------------------------------------------------- begin FOOTER "G00 [ZH]" "G00 [XH] [YH]" "M05" "M02"

[@marknoll6987]

excellent!! Thank you

[@sslamed]

Any issues with the controller so far? What stepper drivers are you running? Is there a maximum for lines of g code? Can it be switched from mm to in? Last question I promise, I run two motors on my y axis. Can a slave motor be setup to run the opposite direction? Thanks! Awesome build!

[@darkbielz]

Those seems to be the TB6600 drivers (or similar) , I've got 4 of them on my CNC machine and they work just fine. You can revert the wiring on the second motor to make it spin in the oposite direction. if you are using just one driver for both you can do just like in the image below. cdn.instructables.com/F7R/YJ37/IKRIQXFG/F7RYJ37IKRIQXFG.SMALL.jpg

[@Roadstercycle]

You have the slave motor run the opposite direction just by swapping output or wires.

[@BrainRight]

So far I have no issues with the controller in my application, but if you look through the comments you'll see some issues reported by others e.g. it does not correctly execute arc moves if the pulses-per-mm is different in X and Y. I am now using KL-5056 drivers from Automation Technologies: www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/kl-stepper-drivers/kl5056/ It does not support inches directly. You could possibly calibrate it in inches by altering the steps-per-(mm) setting but I have not used it that way. I also have not tried running two motors on one axis but it should work if you use two stepper drivers connected to the same STEP/DIR outputs. As @Roadstercycle mentioned you can reverse any stepper motor by swapping the wires on one coil.

[@Linrox]

The new DDCSv2.1 fixes the Known bug with the arc movement

Hello Joseph, I'm glad you liked the video. I have not used the RMHV2.1 but I believe it is just a newer version of the DDCSV1.1. The panel looks very similar except for different labels on the buttons, and its manual even has screen shots that say DDCSV1.1 so I would expect it to be the same hardware and possibly the same software. Best Regards, Jay Again using Google Translate: Bonjour Joseph, je suis content que vous ayez aimé la vidéo. Je n'ai pas utilisé le RMHV2.1 mais je crois que c'est juste une version plus récente du DDCSV1.1.

Cordialement, Jay

[@marknoll6987]

is that a Flyback capacitor or for voltage filtering? What is the pin connection on the VFD and the DDCSV1.1 for the VFD control?

[@BrainRight]

It's just a filtering cap on the power supply output, which reduces ripples in the output voltage due to current spikes from the load. It's probably not necessary when there is a completely separate supply for the controller, but it doesn't hurt. The VFD wiring from the controller is just GND plus 2 signal wires: the output labeled M3/M5 goes to the VFD's "run" input, and the output labeled VSO goes to the VFD's "10V_IN" input that sets the spindle speed. The inputs on a particular model of VFD might have slightly different names but most of them should be similar. That alone won't do anything though - you also need to configure the VFD settings to use those inputs because by default it's controlled just by the front panel buttons.

[@marknoll6987]

Thank you so much for all of your great videos and for taking the time to answer questions.

[@marknoll6987]

I have a Huanyang VFD that I bought from a vendor Scryptek CNC. Most of the Chinese VFD manuals are horrible. He created a really good one that I can send you a copy of if you would like

[@BrainRight]

Thanks, mine came with a good manual too. I have seen some of the bad ones, and this one is actually understandable. I've also observed that among versions of the "same" Huanyang VFD, there are differences in things like parameter numbers and signal names, so I hesitate to tell anyone to use a specific parameter or signal line because it may be different than mine even when the drives look very similar.

[@CATZTIMBER]

Hi I have a problem and hope you can help me. I am using DDCSV1.1with closed loop stepper motors. I generate G-code with Fusion 360 and when I run the G-code it seems to lose steps. (loosing steps in the sense, that when I send my machine back to zero position at the end of the G-code, it's out by 2 - 3 mm on x and y axis.). What could be the cause?

[@BrainRight]

It might be similar to the problem I had in my micrometer dial video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZicenmki6mCitE, where it seems that the DDCSV1.1 was sending pulses faster than my cheap stepper drivers would handle. In my case upgrading to higher-end stepper drivers fixed the problem. With closed-loop steppers you're probably not using "cheap" drivers but they might be designed to filter out pulses above a certain frequency for noise reduction. If you are using microstepping, you could try turning that off or reducing it, e.g. if you are using 16X microstepping then going to 2X would cut the pulse rate by a factor of 8 assuming that you also reduce the pulses/mm setting in the DDCSV1.1 by a factor of 8. There are also some settings in the DDCSV1.1 settings page, that control things like the pulse time and delay between asserting the DIR signal and the STEP signal. Increasing those didn't help in my case but it might be worth trying.

[@CATZTIMBER]

Thank you for your advice. I am away for the rest of the week but will let you know if I come right.

[@SLKirwan]

Hi There, I Have got the ddcsv1.1 running on a cnc router. can you please tell me the best post processor to use as I cant get the fanuc .tap file to run. It looks like some of the Fanuc G codes don't work with the ddcsv1.1. any help would be great.thanks scott

[@BrainRight]

Hi Scott, you didn't say what software you are using but if it's Fusion 360 then you can use the post-processor that I wrote. It's posted on my website with a link in the video description.

[@SLKirwan]

yes it is Fusion 360 thanks

[@mariogiannuzzi]

Hi, what postprocessor do you use when save your file?? For Aspire I use gocode (mm) but with non linear interpolation is very slow. Like “excact stop “ in mach3. I try to have a settimg for costant velocity mode. Do you know something for it?

[@BrainRight]

I wrote a postprocessor for Fusion360 and published it (free and open-source) on my website at brainright.com/Projects/CNCController/. I still sometimes use VCarve Pro that came with my CNC router, and I found that the Next Wave Automation CNC Shark postprocessor generates G-code that works with this panel.

[@ErnieScavinckyVideo]

WOW, Very nice work man!!!!

[@seanmcdermott2715]

Can you directly type in lines of g code right from the panel ?

[@AandHAutomationllc]

Hi Brain, What do you think of the controller for production use?

[@BrainRight]

I would say it's suitable for some light production use, but largely it comes down to weighing the cost of the equipment vs. the cost of making mistakes. This is very affordable and in my experience it has worked well but if you're cutting expensive material or if it might be costly to shut down production temporarily then it would be worth spending more for an industrial-quality controller.

[@johnalex3023]

What design software do you use to produce your gcode, and what post processor for that controller?

[@BrainRight]

I use Fusion 360, and a post-processor that I wrote for it. You can download the post-processor (free!) from the link in the video description.

[@cetubuth7461]

nice setup - how do you calibrate the step accuracy with this controller?

[@BrainRight]

That's a good question, and one I've gotten multiple times so maybe I should make a video about how to calibrate the controller. The short answer is that you need to know the steps-per-revolution of your stepper motor (commonly 200), the pulses-per-step (microstepping) of your stepper driver (commonly 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc.), and the millimeters-per-revolution (lead) of your lead/ball screw (commonly 4mm, 8mm, 10mm etc.). Then to calculate the pulses-per-millimeter value to set in the CNC controller, use this formula: pulses_per_milimeter = steps_per_revolution * pulses_per_step / millimeters_per_revolution There are various ways to check this, such as by using a dial indicator to measure the physical distance moved when jogging an axis with the controller.

hi Brian, which cable did you use? is ok to use the 10ft long one?

[@ptran703]

oops. excuse me about the name thing!

[@BrainRight]

No problem, I've been called far worse things than Brian :-) The cable is just a DB37 extension cable, and mine is 6ft long but I think 10ft would work okay. If you're going with a longer length it might be worth spending a little more for a good-quality cable with heavier conductors, although often the wire gauge is not specified. None of them are carrying much current, even the power leads, but I doubled the power wires anyway.

[@sn0wchyld]

does it show the toolpath on the screen? its something i use a lot to ensure i wont hit fixtures...

[@BrainRight]

Yes it has a graphical toolpath display, but I don't use it personally so I can't comment on how good it is. I usually check for collisions or other problems by doing a trial run with the Z axis set above the workpiece and at reduced speed, with my hand on the e-stop button.

[@johnware5312]

VERY nicely done. If this controller understood both the Metric and English system (selectable) as most modern CNC controllers and related software does I would likely consider it. Its no geat issue to do it, just a bit of additional code inside the controller. After all what really happens is both get converted to a series of stepper pulses thats just another conversion anyway. As is now, NOT A CHANCE as I feel not having that capability makes this controller not worth the hassles involved converting from english to metric by hand or in software not worth it.

[@SLKirwan]

hi Jay, I am looking to build a setup similar to your panel. would like to try to have 2 rotary encoders one for x axis and one for y axis. Im not sure if it can be done as it looks like there is only one input, would you have a wiring diagram for the rotary encoder. the controller manual does not make this clear.thanks Scott

[@BrainRight]

Hi Scott, the DDCSV1.1 panel has no support for encoder inputs, although it does have many inputs for limit/home switches so hypothetically some future firmware could repurpose those for encoders. But as it stands I think the only option with this panel would be to use an external closed-loop servo or stepper driver. Here are a couple of possibilities that may work but I have not used them personally. The ClearPath SD series from Teknic is a servo with integrated driver and step/dir inputs, which I expect would work with this panel: teknic.com/products/clearpath-brushless-dc-servo-motors/clearpath-sd/ Automation Technology offers closed-loop stepper systems that act like servos and should work with this panel: www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/nema23-closed-loop-stepper-motor-system-hybrid-servo-kit

[@SLKirwan]

hi Jay, thanks for your reply, I was actually referring to the hand wheel (rotary encoder) on your control box for steering the axis around. sorry about any confusion, I was not sure how to connect it to the MPG Port on the DDCSV1.1 I wondered how you wired your handle. This project I am converting I a Retired Skyjet uv flat-bed Printer into a router and later a maby 3d printer aswell, the bed measures 1.6 metres x 2.7 metres so this should a great project. thanks again Scott

[@BrainRight]

The MPG (Manual Pulse Generator) wheel that I used had 6 terminals, which I wired directly to these 6 terminals on the controller: GND, +5V-W, WHA-, WHA+, WHB-, WHB+. The controller only has provisions for a single MPG wheel, plus separate switches to select which axis the wheel operates and the rate at which it moves the axis. The X-Y-Z-A rotary switch on my controller box is wired to the X-IN, Y-IN, Z-IN, A-IN terminals. Connect one of those to GND in order to select the axis for the MPG. I used a 5-position switch so that there's also an OFF position, which is useful to prevent moving an axis inadvertently. The 1X, 10X, 100X signals are similarly connected to a rotary switch to select the MPG wheel speed by connecting one of those to GND, but having none of them connected is the same as 1X and not "off".

[@matter9]

nicely done!

I have not tried using a Fanuc post-processor so I can't say how well that works, but I found that it will run the same g-code as the original controller that came with my CNC Shark router. I also put a small sample g-code file out on my web site.
