Thank you very much! I'm planning on making more videos about controlling the robot and the software side. Finally finding time to continue this project! And I'm glad to hear that, it has been fun creating this!
First of all, it's a great project. Thank you very much for sharing with us. Can you share a file or video about the circuit diagram and how the connections should be? I am having difficulties with this. Thank you from now.
I apologize for it taking this long to answer. I couldn't find proper connection documents of this. Tried looking but couldn't find them. The basic idea was that stepper drivers were powered directly with the power supply. Motors were connected directly to DRV8825 drivers through the 4-pin connectors on the side of the box. E-stop in the box shuts down the power connection to the power supply therefore shutting the drives off. The arduino itself was powered from usb so eventhough E-stop was pressed the logic and the control side of the machine remained powered on. Limit switches and other data cables from control box to robot were connected with ethernet cable.
There's an Arduino code running on the Mega that takes in lines of codes (basically command words) from Visual Studio program. Basically pressing a button from Visual studio GUI sends a line like J1+ or J1- to the Arduino which then acts in a corresponding way. I will add these programs to the OneDrive folder to go along with the 3D files.
Hi! Can I contact You in private message somehow? email maybe? I still got some questions - (pause at 3:27) there are some wires coming out of the blue one - thats endstops, right? Do You use all of these red, white and black wires or just red ones? I am asking, because i am using ramps 1.4, not 1.6 and i looked at Your arduino code file and it looks like only red ones are needed.
Hello, there was one dedicated stepper driver and the arduino cnc shield had places for five more drivers. In this video the sixth axis driver wasn't installed so only four of these slots were utilized.
I cut a ethernet cable in half and the other half with the connector is inside the box and the wires are connected to arduino. The other half of the cord was then connected to the robot side of things. In the box there's just a pass through connector that takes ethernet cable on both sides.
@@tw2ka644 Yea, but isnt ehternet cable only an 8 wires cable? And enstops needs 6x2=12 wires? I guess that You use 6 signals of endstops and 1 common ground for all of them? That's equal in 7 wires out of 8. Is that how You connect endstops? I will be greatful for answer :)
Hi, thank you for sharing this beautiful project of yours, I'm printing the parts of your robot these days, would you have the possibility to send me the electrical connections? Thanks again greetings Francesco

Wow! I'm impressed. I hope you take the time to share your design and instructions with the world. I'd certainly consider building one.

@@tw2ka644 this would be awesome !
Very impressive! That would make a good camera arm like the one MKBHD has!
Yeah it would! Would be cool trying to attach gopro to the end of the robot!

I am using servo motors for 5 axis and nima 17 for the base rotation only. Can u also help me with the code and visuals??? Plzzzzzz
yo man, is the software compatible with a tb6600 driver?
Hey there, great work.
I got one question however: Whats the program you control the robot with on your PC?
There's an Arduino code running on the Mega that takes in lines of codes (basically command words) from Visual Studio program. Basically pressing a button from Visual studio GUI sends a line like J1+ or J1- to the Arduino which then acts in a corresponding way. I will add these programs to the OneDrive folder to go along with the 3D files.
Thanks mate :)
Can u help me with the diagram of the connection, a full schematics...

I cant see your sixth axis driver. where is?

Hi, how did you extend the stepper motor wires..what wires did you use
I used basic electrical wires, check the steppermotor manual to see the size of the wire
@@tw2ka644 thanks man...what 3d printer did you use..can it print gt2 pulleys
Hi! Could You explain how did You connected endstops to ethernet port?
I cut a ethernet cable in half and the other half with the connector is inside the box and the wires are connected to arduino. The other half of the cord was then connected to the robot side of things. In the box there's just a pass through connector that takes ethernet cable on both sides.

@@TheDindan111 That's exactly how it was connected! One common ground and 6 signals.
where is the working software video brother??
Software video is coming tomorrow! Finally found the time to make it
