I would like to control an RGB matrix board in Jinx via rpi-matrix-acn-e1-31. However, when I run the py code on the Raspberry Pi, only 4 lines appear and there is no response even when controlled by Jinx. Please help.. Thank you
did you configure the scan lines properly? How many pixels are we talking about per row?
@@billieblaze I don't know what the problem was, but it was resolved Thank you for your help!!
congratulations for making it so far. My system wont even reckognise my sending card - i just get a "LED screen system not found" ... im linked up with hdmi converter to DVI, usb and power ofc ... no cigar ... any ideas??
What kind of potentiometer did you use for you sewing machine servo?
i don't think it really matters, but 10k 10-turn
ua-cam.com/video/2Y906hrYsnk/v-deo.html thata what i use too a 10k
I know this video is a bit old, but I’m trying to match this same setup. I have a raspberry pi 3B+ and two 64x32 matrices chained together. What library did you use on the pi to stream data? And how many universes did you use?
Initially I used one of these. www.renard-shop.com/pixels/48-raspberry-pi-matrix-adapter.html
Nice, the motor mount, did that come with the kit or have you made it? Thanks
I made it on the taig. Got the design from the awesome facebook group facebook.com/groups/Taig.Lathe.And.Mill.Group
Hi, Can you share the code part and interface?
LINSN is rubbish, fails as hell!
Lol. Few years in and it still works fine. Shrug
what size fly cutter is that?
i think its the standard taig flycutter. its sitting about 3 inches wide with single point cutter
What value of potentiometer did you use?
How much is the total cost to build this?
I think it was about 300-400 usd roughly.
niiiice
Good
Hey, I'm just curious how 15 IPM goes in Aluminum? I would have thought that's way too fast for the Taig
Can you please provide me with the make and model of that work holding system you have on there?
Just a simple 3 inch screwless vice from amazon and a set of parallels. www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-Toolmakers-Grinding-Pin-Vice-Screwless-75-mm-3-Inch-Grinding-Vise-Pin/143533983305?hash=item216b4ac649:g:IVoAAOSw7TReSH8E

How many panels would be needed to have a 1:1 of your laptop's resolution?
quite a few! this is 64x64 and uses 8 panels.

Hi mate iv just built one of these too. There's a great software from quantum software. Can control with Xbox controller and has auto visualisation software. I like your sensor idea for angles. Plz contact me we can share ideas. tobiascourt@gmail.com
Hey, where did you get the dimensions for the mount?
Theres an awesome taig group on facebook. Someone there designed it
@@billieblaze I'm in the group but cant seem to find it? do you still have the file?
Its in the "Files" section, first file is the fusion360 model for it facebook.com/groups/Taig.Lathe.And.Mill.Group/permalink/2805555446208292/
This can be acomplished using pure RPi 3 - 4, already done!
I did run it off gpio at first. It was slooooow though!

Hi, is there a way to get the entire desktop shown onto the panel. Not sure if this is done within the sender setting or receiver setting. If so how do you do it, I can’t seem to find out anywhere
Use the duplicate setting or extend. If it's bigger (right now 128x64) then it will be widescreen desktop.
Very cool! I'm getting ready to order myself one of the Taig CNC mills. Did you get the one with Taig's motor controller? How hard was it to get the mill to communicate with Fusion 360? I'm experienced with 360 and 3d printing, but I'm brand new to CNC mills, so I've got a lot of questions.
how did you get jinx running on the hub75 displays ?
Looks like I had it hooked up to a Raspberry PI running an app to receive the artnet data. Quick google, I believe this is what I used: github.com/darknessii/rpi-matrix-artnet I used sACN protocol and configured multiple universes
I think people would of got a better idea of things if the video wasn't sped up and it was done in real time.
Probably so. I've been working with it for a few months now and tend to replace slotting with adaptive. I'll have to do another video soon, because that was kind of tricky to chase down - my google fu wasn't working well when digging for info!
With the Rasberry PI, Did you try to take the HDMI output into the Sending card? It sounds like you attempted to go from the ethernet port into the receiving card.
I did try this! My receiver card has DVI input, and I was using a passive HDMI->DVI. Allegedly this doesn't work well with RPI, so you need an active converter. I haven't tried it personally, but its only like $10-15 for the adapter. I've since started using Resolume Arena with the screens and there's no way thats going to run on a PI. I simply go from my PCs HDMI into the same adapter and have no problems there.
Dude, awesome. Just stumbled across this. Did you ever get this fully functional? You may have the only other complete turret version in existence besides the one in my own shop.
i got it "functional" in the sense that everything is wired up and actuates. i haven't been able to get it to fire but maybe one or two very short shots. after I saw the power it had, I realized it's probably not "work safe" as I had wanted to hook it up to our build tools to shoot people that break things. I'd also thought of putting it on my mini tank which i'm setting up with a Kinect. Base was a bit big for that, but i might revisit it.
@@billieblaze it can be a fickle beast but kind of an endless source of tinkering. I have done two other blasters as well whose code and parts all essentially stem from that turret. If you do come back to it, feel free to see if there's anything helpful there. Thanks for printing one.
When I read the title I thought you had managed to somehow get Jinx to run on the pi itself. My favourite function in Jinx is the music equaliser but I would love to have my LED table self contained and not have to plug in a laptop to get that effect. Goal would be to have a pi and Arduino work together to do the equaliser function. Alas, may not be possible.
I tried to get glediator to run on the pi. Had some issues with the HDMI converting to DVI (for my TS812). Apparently, an active converter would have helped. I've since starting dabbling w/ resolume.
@@billieblaze I managed to get Glediator to work on an Ubuntu live USB dongle. I assumed if I got it working there, I could get it working on the pi but haven't tried as yet. Still I think I like Jinx better but they have no Linux compatible version.
hi... your video is awesome.. a question.. what do you think about this note of the pages that sales leds modules? is that true? : the note is the fallowing: You'd better buy all modules at a time for one led screen, in this way, we can make sure that all of them are of the same batch. For different batch of LED modules have a few differences in RGB rank, color, frame, brightness etc. So our modules can't work together with your previous or later modules.
from what I understand, this has to do w/ manufacturing + consistency. batch to batch brightness can certainly be different! I bought these from an amazon seller, so I suspect they're from the same (or similar) batches.
They will still work together but you may risk receiving non matching panels to your old ones as in brightness, color, grayscale due to them being aged differently and due to different variances in manufacturing LED batches and other electrical components. It will have a hard time looking like your old ones. You can correct in software but thats an extra step.
@@707ADROIT thanks a lot..
Is there a way to control brightness?
You can either use gamma correction settings on the receiver or handle it on the pc. It comes up as a separate display, so normal display settings work to adjust as well

Hi there, you didn't show the "Display Connection" menu, how did you get it to work with one data port per row?, Are all the displays in the same "Extension Cable" number? dude how? I'm trying to configure a 4 (320x160) panel display 2 connected to "j600" and the other 2 connected to "j601", I have the correct .RCG file and I have tried everything that has come to mind, and just two panels(on different ports) are working fine.
Its like it shows only half of the screen repeated on both sides j600 1 2 j602 1 2 Both 1s make half the screen and the 2s make the other, but both sides display the same
I basically used this as reference: 00.rc.xiniu.com/g2/M00/73/00/CgAGe1rMcICAKm8oAABlB-vxSfE618.png in the led config, i just configured it as a single display of 64x64 pixels. I suppose, given the RGC file it knows that each panel had 64x32px, so it stitched it all together assuming each port on the RV was a seperate row. It wasn't until I added a second receiver card that I had to add another square and map direction in that Display Connection screen.
Well I suppose my RCG file is not the right one, every panel in a single row just duplicates the first one, where did you download your RCG file from?
i emailed linsn to get their RGC pack, i had to rename the chinese characters out of the filenames. From there, I basically just ran through each P10 file until I got one that displayed properly. I also made a few small adjustments to refresh rate once it was displaying.
Looks like that sewing machine motor is working great! Have you had to do anything else since the install? Looks like you added a cog belt I am considering buying a Taig mill for hobby work, and your motor is the type I was zeroing in on. BTW, I saw This Old Tony make round-tooth cog belt pulleys by drilling a circle of proper sized/located holes in a gear blank, then turning off the extra material leaving a great pulley.
I've been loving the consew motor. I have since upgraded the frame! A member of the taig group on Facebook came up with something REALLY special. I've also upgraded to a g540 and 3.5a 380oz steppers to get the feed rate up. Thing is a beast now!!
I have heard that these motors or one similar are not sealed motors. I guess a filter and/or some ducting would work fine.
Not sealed. Most swarf stays away from it. No probs so far.
coool
Is the fan shroud file available?
The black part on top of the motor? I got that from the taig owners group on Facebook, the have a fusion 360 library with all the things I used
Techno tank!
what kind of DOCs and speeds do you get from this?
Still working on DOC's, but other users are getting full depth passes at ~0.25" or so with adaptive cuts. I generally do about .05 - .1 in 6160. Speed is 0-8krpm as I have the controller configured, I can do 10k, but I don't need it much currently. The best part is, no more belt switching! Soon, I'll hook up spindle control in Mach4
What are "adaptive cuts"?
heres a good summary. also, check out the NYCCNC videos about it help.autodesk.com/view/fusion360/ENU/?guid=GUID09E44604-DAD8-47D6-ADC6-C100869DE724
Hello - What is the model # of the motor? Have been looking for the one pictured (with a 4 digit RPM display), and wanted to confirm exactly which one it is. Thank you.
CSM1000 is the model. When I was shopping for it, all the images showed 1 digit display and I was hesitant. But it came with the correct 4 digit driver! All of these should have the 4 digit: www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=csm1000
thank you.
Hey just fyi, I am legally blind and need audio descriptions. I dig the chiptunes though. Did you produce that?
No, didn't produce this one. The clip was too short for most of my tracks. Audio descriptions like spoken word, or something that a screen reader parses ?
Great video and very timely for me. It looks like you replaced the Consew speed control with some sort of variable speed control. Would you supply me info regarding this speed control? I put one of these motors on my Taig lathe and kept the Consew speed control, but modified it with a screw and nut to provide motion for speed control. I am happy with the setup, but would like to handle speed control on the mill with a variable speed knob.. so far, very happy.
So far, I've simply replaced the Hall sensor with a potentiometer that's biased a little. There's a schematic here at the bottom of page one: www.cnczone.com/forums/gecko-drives/343272-g540-consew-type-servo-sewing-machine-motor.html the rest of the post if pretty good as they step through figuring out the proper range, etc. They show a switchable system, one side is potentiometer, on the other side, you can replace the other side of the switch with a current to volt converter like this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073PRCDY2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to allow control from mach3 or linux cnc. Also of note, theres a great facebook group "Taig Lathe and Mill Owners Group", lots of great info on using this motor! Those guys were amazingly helpful
@@billieblaze The potentiometer aspect of this is driving me crazy. I keep reading about people complaining that the first half turn of the potentiator's dial does nothing, and all hte control is concentrated in the second half. You wrote "with a potentiometer that's biased a little. " Can you tell me how many ohms and what "biased a little" means? Better yet, brand & model ##, if it's working well for you. I know how to wire it, but I don't have enough info to pick it out, and the only bias I'm aware of is logarythmic/audio, which seems biased the wrong way. Thanks in advance!!! I've spent half the night trying to find the right pot.
nice

Billie Blaze The fact that you have royalty free music at your disposal is great, but the fact that these videos can be a showcase of your musical creations is a whole other level. Nice way to have an outlet that provides for both.
