Raspberry Pi CNC Controller

[@nikodembartnik]

Where should I post files for the case that I designed? Looks like Thingiverse doesn't work very well right now :( Or maybe you want me to make an instructable about this project?

[@samh7140]

Instructables 😄

[@luigicicatiello3991]

Instructables is ok... but i think it will be also good on thingiverse when it's possible. But, in any case, thank you so much for your great works!

[@tomgray7049]

instructable please

Very good! I love to see Dremel CNC updates 👍🏻

[@coreymac2381]

I think all your videos are great. I’m a woodworker and woodturner and I have a branding Iron to mark my work. It was nice of you to make one for your Dad.

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks!

[@mattwestlake114]

New day, new possibilities, new fuses! Cool project, great video!

[@createforcuriosity225]

I will try this on my new CNC, thank you !

[@22BOZIDAR]

Cool little mill. Protoneer makes a board for the raspberry pi and a preconfigured SD card image. The board has an arduino running GRBL.

[@gizlas]

Nikodem, do as much crazy stuff as you like, but make sure to record and share it :)

[@nikodembartnik]

I will!

[@Viureify]

Dude, do whatever makes you happy ❤️ Your channel rocks and you are a true inspiration!

[@certified-forklifter]

i just came home from school =) and then this video popped up. Awesome! thanks

[@erikstarke6396]

Me too

[@deivid77]

Hi Nikodem, your work is amazing. Congrats! I definitely want to make the full project: cnc and the Raspberry Pi console. Keep on making and sharing.

[@jakebozz7677]

"New day, new possibilities, new fuse..." and "because I want to" are my favorite parts!! I love it! lol Keep doing your thing & exploring what you like, Nikodem! BTW, what is your major at University?

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks! It's Automatic control and robotics, electronics and telecommunication, informatics

[@jakebozz7677]

Excellent! That sounds like a lot of fun!!! (Even though timelines might occupy your time) Enjoy!!!

[@leonpalnau6839]

Nice work and I can appreciate your use of multiple maker skills. There is one thing that is eating at me about your design. You should research "Parallel-in, Serial-Out" (PISO) shift registers. This is a simple small IC that takes binary input on each pin (like from each button) and serializes the data at a frequency defined by the input of the clk pin. In short if each of 8 buttons is connected to a pin, the chip will send an 8bit string along to a single PIO input on the Pi. Would clean up the wiring a lot and free up many PIO on the Pi. You would just need the button board attached to the shift registers, and then 4 wires to the Pi- vcc,gnd,clk and a single PIO.

And today we have a guest appearance from Nikodem’s Dad’nik 🤪

Nice! THX for this great tutorial. I was already thinking of doing it for my mill because then i dont need to use my laptop anymore

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks!

[@tomgray7049]

very good job. dont apologize for your videos, they are great.

[@alexm224]

I think that this dude got a little bit inspired by Casey Neistat. BTW great content!

[@nikodembartnik]

I think you are right, dude's style is very similar to casey's style :)

[@maciekm7953]

That's exactly what I need. Thanks for sharing👍

[@nrdesign1991]

8:38 I had one of these exact peltier dehumidifiers, and they do absolutely NOTHING but consume power, make noise, and do very little actual dehumidifying. Return the unit and get one with a compressor, they work great and don't consume much more power.

[@nikodembartnik]

Yes, it's definitely not the most efficient thing ever, but it is always something because humidity here is terrible

[@ca444]

I have a husqvarna Viking sewing machine here that has a dead motherboard, complete with 2 axis embroidery bed. There's a lot going on at once in a sewing machine. I'm only a minute into this video, and think these old machines don't have to die when dealers can no longer support them. The owner of this machine paid $12,000 on this machine, and it's a door stop now.

You: "It's already February and here we are, the first project... workshop project in 2020. Don't blame me, blame my University." Me, watching this in 2023, "Oh you innocent person, you have no idea what's coming your way."

[@mickyas1000]

Thanks for another informative video, i've just pulled the trigger on buying the materials to make your Indymill, will there be an update to the indymill to use a raspberry pi for control etc?

[@TheTsunamijuan]

You know it would likely be easier to avoid the emulation layer from additional software. Get a ATtiny micro controller, and set it up with the arduino boot loader. Then Configure it as a human interface device, for the buttons. This way it will lower some of the software loads on the pi, and you will also have the ability to easily move it to a new pi when the SD card dies or the image file gets corrupted.

[@dugabomber5993]

Why arduino bootloader? (Asking from curiosity) I have a raspberry pi pico and I have used circuit python with it for potentiometers and leds. Is the arduino boot loader specific to a certain task?

[@TheTsunamijuan]

@@dugabomber5993 ease if programming. If you want to take advantage of all the existing drivers and projects already out there for human interface devices. You could certainly do it in the normal atmel development tools. But for most beginners and hobbyists its more work to go that route than work inside the Arduino ecosystem.

[@seanmcdonald656]

Good video. Do what makes you happy.

[@billfield8300]

So, Nik.. A year later.. Have you had a chance to make the instructables for this yet? I absolutely love the idea. Look forward to seeing it. Thanks for the video.

[@pr00009]

this is bloody awesome

[@kousheekchakraborty9250]

Great project! Just one small tip, making finger-joints on fusion 360 manually is pretty tedious, and there exists a script that automates the process, I would strongly recommend it.

[@nikodembartnik]

I will check that out I didn't know that there is such thing, thanks for letting me know!

[@kousheekchakraborty9250]

@@nikodembartnik no worries😃

[@juergenvonhausberg]

Nice one. What about omitting the Arduino altogether and instead do everything on Raspberry Pi?

Hi Nikodem, I am dealing with a problem that I think you also had. I can’t see the visualiser of the UGS. Any suggestion?

[@bryansegui2376]

Great video! But i have a question, whats the function of have a different screen for the cnc?

[@Mekhanic1]

Very nice! Now change the Dremel for a quality Proxxon =)

[@nikodembartnik]

I already replaced Dremel by 500W spindle :)

[@python360]

Does UGS use GRBL / How is the Gcode translated for the motors?

[@lazyh-online4839]

UGS just sends g-code over serial, there are many controllers and stuff that are probably compatible with it (will receive that serial signal), and yes that includes a separate board with grbl installed on it.

[@asalottin]

Awesome project! I always thought if that was at all possible and I'm glad it is. May I ask what Raspberry Pi did you use for it? Thanks!

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks! I used raspberry pi 3B because that's what I had laying around, you can always go with 4B it's more powerfully everything should run smoother

[@immewhou1755]

Awesome video

[@pawelfiett]

Great new addition. Have to try it... Dzięki Nikodem!

[@nikodembartnik]

Just do it! You are welcome :)

[@TheAuxLux]

I recently added 3 stepper motors to my microscope, so I can controll each axis with computer. However I decided to controll it with my steam controller (via node.js), and it works as a charm. Maybe not perfect fit for your application, however I thought you might be interested to know it's possible and quite easily doable ;) Pozdro!

[@nikodembartnik]

Definitely a great update to quickly set a zero point and move the machine to proper place on the material. I don't have any game controller, looks like I have to buy one :)

[@lazyh-online4839]

I've thought about adding a crosshair eyepiece to mine and using steppers like that to make an optical CMM style device for making precise measurements on my parts and inspecting stuff. Does yours have a lot of backlash or is it pretty consistent?

[@kevindevrome1663]

Very nice!

[@nikodembartnik]

Thanks!

So how would I use a servo hat on the pi to create a cnc like this?

[@dhalinesh8599]

I like your project can I mill a PCB using your CNC design?

[@nikodembartnik]

Theoretically yes, but I never tried it. Because of backlash it may not be precise enough for detailed boards

[@HansOlo0]

It's all cool and fancy and all, but it kinda seems to me that trowing like 80 bucks at a machine worth just slightly more than that to make it work away from your computer is kinda, you know... counterproductive? All you really need is a way to replace USB with something that would send data back and forth over wifi, me thinks.I mean, if your'e using UGS, you have this little web interface working as a pendant on your phone, so all that's left is getting rid of the cable between your computer and the router. And surprise, surprise, USG can send data over TCP socket, ESP8266 costing like two bucks has both wifi capabilities and serial port you can use for interfacing with arduino, it all takes like 20 minutes to code and maybe an hour to test and debug.... see where I'm going with this? ;)

[@DandySkipper]

Or just get a pi zero w for 10 dollars and use cncjs web server and use your PC anywhere. Much easier.

[@HansOlo0]

@@DandySkipper Does it run reasonably good on pi zero though? I remember having serious performance issues with Node.js installed on pi 3 b+ like a year ago...
