Makerbase Pro is another USB/CAN Adapter. This cost <20US and comes with Isolated CAN and CAN-FD. I have just ordered a few of these so will return as I hack a C# API on this as well.

I bought a few of the cheap Robotell USB-CAN Adapters fro Aliexpress and finally decided to use them on a project as I needed a low-cost PC-CAN Adapter. Someone will recall I made USB/CAN Adapters some years ago using STM32F105, but I had so much trouble with those that I never used them. I have…
This application is done manually, but I will re-generate it from BSA later. The picture shown is a classic demo application for a 9 – Valve ValvePack. You control 27 PWM signals and 13 analogue signals in this example with 9 proportional 3-Way Valves. These are quite common in subsea systems used in the oil…
Just playing around with a Torque Tool Gauge. Bit work in progress, but using a wide band as needle rather than a classic needle and due to how my gauges are build up I can easely get them adapted to various stiles. This provides 4 gauges at the space of one – a bit work…
I finally got the two tank belts designed and added to the frame – so will get around to mount the plates and wire the machine. The tank belt at right hang a little so I will mount a holder to lift it up a bit, but otherwise I am good to go. My current…
Finally got around to design holders for my Nema8 Nozzle head + I added a damper between the Nema17 and the head to reduce noise. I need to design tank-belt holders and I can start assembling pneumatic tubes and control system as I should have all parts by now. I used FreeCAD to design these…
I ordered CNC belt driver wheels a bit quick and realized just now that their hold is 6mm while the shafts on my steppers are 5mm. The extra 1mm meakes a “hump” as the belt move and the combination is not a nice, smooth belt drive – so new belt wheels have been ordered. I…
As mentioned before it is easier to blog about HW than SW, more to show. But, that is about to change because BSA is very visual once it runs. The screen below is just a demo/test for Save/Load functionality and once that is working I can easier blog actual about diagrams. I must admit it…
This picture (above) show the PnP Nozzle head. (1) A Nuki 506 Noozle, but I have several noozles. (2) A noozle holder. (3) A Nema8 hallow shaft Stepper and (4) And adapter for rotating hallow shaft to vacum tube. These are some of the most expensive parts of the PnP design. I have received 501…
This is an early draft of a new, scalable control system for the PnP and later CNC machines. It is based on my own PLC system. I will re-use an older 3D Print control system or even get a OpenPnP control system in the first place, but I want to replace it with my own…
