Any chance we could get a step by step on how to mount and config the eletronics of the project? I've been dying to get myself a active pedal, however while it costs about 2,5k the price skyrockets to 15k in my currency (lol). Sadly I make the same amout / hour cash as a minimum wage worker does and therefore I simply can not afford that. I am into DIY stuff but never really messed around with boards and circuits and so on. Thank you for sharing you work!
Thank you, the encoder is not connected to the dm556 but to an esp32 which records the pulses to give the position of the carriage and thus correct the errors.
@@hoyangvakei Nice!! Im trying to make one similar to yours but will use a 12kgcm nema 23 with a magnetic encoder, i needed to ask you how i could make my own code to make it work
Seems more silent than the old version! still using nema 17? what motor controller are u using now? Any chance for a video with the new sound/noise when pressing the pedal with a longer throw? im interested in building one for myself, but too much noise might be an issue for me.
@@hoyangvakei have you seen the tmc2160 oc by makerbase? its really great, i will use 3 of them on a cnc project that im making, they are super silent and capable of 4,2 amps rms if im not mistaken, the only possible drawback for the active pedal application is that they start the microstepping configuration on the 1/8 of step
im currently trying to build a version with magnetic encoders and a normal nema23 stepper, if you could help me explaining on how you did the mods for the pedal to work with custom encoders it would be awesome thanks in advance!
Magnetic encoders are not a good idea for this project, because they tend to crash the esp32 because of the i2c communication and their calculation speed gives position errors on accelerations. I went with a mechanical encoder to solve the problem.
@@hoyangvakei thanks for the answer!! Have you had any problem regarding the stepper motor rpm? Im asking because unlike a servo they tend to be weaker at high rpm rates

Super travail bravo
Merci à toi 👍
Salut c un choix le rail avec les tubes de chaque côté et non un rail par le dessous ?
@fabienbois-wp9sg oui c'est un choix, le tarif est plus intéressant qu'un rail à bille.
Le système permet aussi de raidir toute l'installation.
Hello, congratulations on the work. Is it possible to explain how you used the DM556 with an external encoder?
Thank you, the encoder is not connected to the dm556 but to an esp32 which records the pulses to give the position of the carriage and thus correct the errors.
@@hoyangvakei thanks for responding. Did you make any changes to the file? Can you send me an email?
hey man! awesome update!! what type of encoder youre using now? is the abz ones?
I use an ab encoder.

looks like it is a nema 17 on the video
yes version 2 is still equipped with a nema 17, I have not changed controller I am still on TB6600 but I am thinking of switching to DM556.
