Also highly useful video for the Bamboo AS2 feeder, most parts seem to be almost the same as the AS1.1, seems to mostly be optimising the number of different types of screws used... And also new part for mounting a label to (my guess anyway)
Your videos have come at the perfect time because I'm assembling a bunch of AS1s to test as replacements for the pneumatic Yamaha CL feeders in my machines, at least for the most common 0603 parts in 8mm tape. I need to fit more feeders in the machines and these are so slim that I'll get about 30% more in the same space compared to CLs. It looks like the mounting method has changed significantly in v1.1. I've mounted a single 20x20 extrusion at the moment but I had in mind modifying the AS1 design to fit onto a 20x40 extrusion, for added stability. I also want to mount the servo sockets vertically just behind the rail mount so that I can make a PCB that bolts under the rail with pin headers sticking straight up, so feeders can be plugged into place with zero loose cables. However, the new mounting system looks like it wouldn't allow that. Will the v1.1 files be out soon? My printer has been running for the last week making v1.0 parts.
The mounting method has changed significantly in 1.1. Two distant points are referenced, making the pickup position quite certain. I'll make a follow-up video demonstrating this.
@@nickydoes Thanks a ton! I wish I had the video recording skills to show off how nice the Panda Placer has been. I really wish Opulo would have been a better solution but I just can't swing 100$ feeders or whatever they're charging right now.
Really like the ring changes. Does this include the changes to openpnp where vision is used to correct potential pick position issues? I'll see about sending Leo to see if I can snag the 1.1 files and do a test run. My prior experience was that 0402 components just wouldn't feed accurately enough for non-vision picking. Your description mentions assembling more than a hundred! How's pick rates been for you? What are you primarily picking? Any idea if 24mm feeders are on the way?
@@nickydoes Fantastic to see and hear. I have some older 1.1 files that doesn't have the new spring and tape mechanism but has the fancy mounting solution. I'll have to see if I can get the new files from Leo. *edit* Wanted to know how you are running the feeders in openpnp. I assume feed actuator should be Autofeeder_tape pitch value But are you running any post pick actuator? I assume when setting part pitches of 2mm it'll manage the double pick itself for 0402 components or should I be doing something specific?
@@MoonWind32690 for 0402, you have to run the new bambooFeeder visionFeeder. It's in the newest test build, and I recommend you read the GitHub pull request history from Andrew. That Feeder class exposes two parts to pick with each advance, then uses vision to find each part in its pocket.

If you've ordered from Leo I've found that just tossing him a email he'll often send you the new files if you ask to test them.

@@nickydoes Fantastic, thanks! I'm going to order another couple of packs of parts from Leo so I'll ask him for the files.

The new feeder class 'bambooFeeder' is in the latest openPnP test version. It's worth reviewing the PR notes to see what Andrew changed.
Vision based picking is part of the BambooFeeder.
The AS1.1 picks 0402 reliably. I'm just starting to use the bambooFeeder feeder class.
