    why is my wheel so loud?

  • @SianaGearz
    @SianaGearz 10 місяців тому

    Do not worry about the turn position of the encoder. On startup, the wheel drives to both ends of the rack by running the motors. When the encoder stops emitting steps, the end of travel is registered. By counting the steps between two extremes, the centre of wheel rotation is found. The rack is at the bottom of the chassis and is driven by a small shaft gear at the rear end. So the only thing you need to align is the wheel such that it's in the centre when the rack is in the centre, and it's on the one and a half turn positions left and right when the rack is touching its stops.

    I know this is 6 years old but those encoders are incremental not absolute. it doesn't matter if they get moved. It's an optical encoder wheel like you'd find in arcade trackballs, spinners and old PC mice that had a ball in them.

      It should work? I have DFGT that works in W11. Just need to ask around for the right download, it hasn't been updated in centuries and is hidden. Then also need to Security settings of Windows, go into Device Security, and disable Core Isolation - Memory Integrity. With setting done like that, any drivers that worked on Windows 7 should all still just work! That's the one relevant thing that changed between 10 and 11 that this was enabled by default.

  • @Dutch3DMaster
    @Dutch3DMaster 3 роки тому

    Not completely sure, but the Momo series uses a small shiny part on the axis to make the controller know where the middle position of the wheel is upon startup. I think you'd need quite a bit of force to have that middle part slip gears, but I feel this controller might use the reading of the motors to know where the endstops are, or it might use the encoder for it to know it's max-rotation. Given the fact that it uses two motors (making it possible to use less gears like the Momo does) it's probably easier to have electronics sense the current increase in the motors hitting the endstops, but it could also just measure rotation. I honestly was suprised to learn the electronics in the Momo was reasonably simple.

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 10 місяців тому

      It doesn't have sensing electronics for the current. It just turns on the motors and waits for the encoder to stop emitting steps, because the rack has hit its stop. The motors are also just on the same H-bridge. Not exactly overburdened with complexity, it's like a really really nicely made toy, which is entirely appropriate.

      Header Connector

    • @Dutch3DMaster
      @Dutch3DMaster 3 роки тому

      @@gabrielnogarollidossantos1967 There are hundreds of types of header connectors....you need to know the pitch (distance between pins) and at times also the size of the pins in order to know what the correct type is.

    • @Dutch3DMaster
      @Dutch3DMaster 3 роки тому

      Look for connectors that have a fast-on crimp-style of pin-header connector (try Dupont style as well, they can look similar). If there is still some wire left between the connector and the part where you knicked it you might be able to resolder that, there is no high current going through it. Not completely sure about the pin-pitch, I'll have to warn you that sometimes manufacturers can go for something custom-made and a consumer-available option for a connector might not fit well or at all because of a deviation of the norms for certain connectors. It could also be a SIL-style connector, but those are usually a little bit chunkier and do not use crimped pin-connectors but are soldered on. If it would not work out finding a replacement, you could try soldering a small extension-lead kind of thing directly to the pins on the motherboard (at the other side where the connector will be, given that the connector is a through-hole (which means, through the printed circuit board) connection and not one that connects to an electrical layer somewhere in the middle of the board, which I doubt it will be due to stability, but hey, manufacturers sometimes do weird things in order to make sure their devices break easily, but not to easily). The only thing with that last solution is having to be absolutely sure you get the pinout right.

    • @SianaGearz
      @SianaGearz 10 місяців тому

      Measure pin pitch, look at JST connectors - JST XH (2.5mm) and PH (2.0mm) are most likely candidates. I don't remember exactly which one is in there. The cheapest tool i found to crimp them well is iwiss IWS-2820M (Micro) that i got from their direct seller for $12 and you may also get pre-crimped wires in different pin counts and lengths.

      @Cragnathar Рік тому

      I have no clue too, when my wheel died I opened it up, put it back together, then noticed the spring on my desk. If I had to guess, the two ends touch the base and the top of the bend touches the carousel. That way the spring is less likely to slide and roll about in the base, or somehow work loose (and also there is only one point of contact on the carousel, reducing sliding friction). You can see the trench it sits in at 11:30, although it looks like he has no spring, so I dont know how important it actually is.

    • @Dutch3DMaster
      @Dutch3DMaster 3 роки тому

      How are you sure it's the microchip? If they did it the same way as in the Logitech Momo series, there isn't a whole lot of thing to break in the chip that listens to button pins, because the power dissipation in it is absolutely minimal. In the Logitech Momo they use an 8 button pin arrangement using a floating earth that get's pulled up for one button and for the other button on the same pin pulled down (from about 2.1 V to 3.3 for one of the buttons and about 0.4 for the other button on the same pin). They do this with a transistor or opamp of some sort (it's a little bit unclear, the typenumber seems to suggest it's a custom made part, I was unable to find a clear datasheet without being in doubt if I was looking at the actual part and not a clone or one that is similar in function). Did you try reseating the connectors at both ends? The thing is that logic voltages can be low and as a result suffer problems quicker when a connector might be a little dirty due to just being used for a long time in an environment prone to corossion or dirt setting off on the contacts, due to, for instance, high humidity.
