After reading a topic about using the U-axis instead of the Z-axis by Tim Wehr, i thought this must be automated as the controller provides a signal when file is processed (/blow)
Also, for my rotational unit, i wanted to switch while the machine is on.
What does this PCB do:
- You can still manually move the Z-axis
- Auto focus can be used like normal
- Z-axis steps during the job as programmed (U-axis)
- Y-axis can do the normal reset procedure (reset or power-on)
- Switching Y to Rotational while machine is on.
- Y-axis is hold fixed when using the rotational unit
- /Blow signal is buffered and can be inverted.
If interested, i can make drawings of the circuit and PCB...
