Laser with the duet controller

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 02:41:30 -0700

Hello,

I have the workbee from ooznest and I would like to transform it to adapt a laser module. But I didn’t have a lot of bugdet for this project. So, I know that optlasers shell a module at 90€ to adapt the controller with the laser module like this one for example: https://ortur.net/collections/optional-p...) but I would like to know if they are some alternatives and how to interface such kind of laser with the duet controller.

REgards,

Possible to Override G0/G1 error?

Thu, 18 Nov 2021 02:06:00 -0700

I (think I) understand what this error means but am not always successful at stopping it happening! In this case I am trying to Vcarve some text into the surface of a 33mm piece of oak and I keep getting this error message. I’m not cutting anywhere near the table so I can’t see why the machine would think it will cut itself. I’ve played with the z safe height and tried everything from 10mm to 1mm and always the error. Is there perhaps something wrong with the physical height of the router in the bracket or the bracket to the machine?

Upgrade 2019 to current model

Mon, 15 Nov 2021 12:03:06 -0700

Do you sell upgrade packages for your kits? I purchased the 1000x1500mm Screw Driven X & Belt Driven Y back in 2019 and shamefully, have not successfully completed a first cut yet. I was hoping to upgrade the system if possible to all screw drive and anything else (Power and Thrust Bearing). I only see the power supply and thrust bearing but nothing that shows version upgrades.

Home x axis, homes the Z axis

When I try to home the X axis the machine moves in the x and z direction ands stops after homing the z axis. when I try to home the z axis it moves as it should be. when using the jog options the machine also moves fine. How can I Solve this?

My Tool Changing Idea

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 03:29:54 -0700

I’m curently writing a post processor and have acheived a way of having more than one tool in my program, the only information I need to know is when resuming from a pause are the co-ordinates that are stored relate to the previous tool length?

This is my example if you need to try it

T6 ( 1/4 ENDMILL )

m117 "Load 1/4 ENDMILL , probe height & resume"

M25

Gcode toolpath issue - is this a bug?

Fri, 29 Oct 2021 00:14:50 -0700

Hi all,

I have the new 1500x1500 Workbee Z1+ and so far so good, however I’ve noticed an issue which I’m not sure is a bug, or just me.

I’m using Carveco maker to generate the gcode. It will create something like this

T1
G17
G21
G90
G0Z7.0000
G0X0.0000Y0.0000
S18000M3
G0X265.6171Y261.2008Z7.0000
G1Z1.0000F1397.0
G1X275.6171Z-0.5000
G1X265.6171Z-2.0000
G1X280.0421F2794.0
X280.0421Y501.6258
X265.6171
Y261.2008
X250.6171Y246.2008
X295.0421Y246.2008
X295.0421Y516.6258
X250.6171

Because the last G1 command only contains an X co-ordinate, the Workbee will ignore all subsequent Y moves (and only move along the X axis)

If I manually change the gcode line G1X280.0421F2794.0 to G1X280.0421Y261.2008F2794.0 it works perfectly and follows both co-ordinates fine.

I’m using firmware 3.3 and have created the gcode in grbl, ugs grbl and workbee gcode in Carveco. All the same results.

Questions are

Do I need to include a G command at the start of every line? ( I notice Vectric vcarve pro and Fusion 360 seem to do this - so the problem never arises)

Should the above gcode work? ( if you omit a G command, should the system just use the last G command and move to the new co-ordinates)

Thanks

Richard

G28 endstops not triggering

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 00:12:59 -0700

Hello,

I have a problem with my end stops. They are not triggering in the software, but on the duet controller the lights work when in trigger them manually. I have already updated the firmware to version 3.3, but that had no effect on the end stops.

Also i can’t find the ‘config-axes-endstops.g’ in my file management.

Has anybody got an idea how i can fix this problem.

I’m going to need a high amount of storage on my Workbee Z1 , is this just a case of switching the Sd Card for a higher capacity one or does this hold information for the machine itself?

Getting an uneven bottom section on large pockets

Fri, 01 Oct 2021 01:02:21 -0700

This has happened a few times now but unfortunately this time it matters!
The uneven bottom section looks as if it could have been caused by the tool slipping down over time but it definitely isn’t because it doesn’t get consistently lower as you would expect…the two examples here are a vcarve with clearance pass and a basic large pocket, both to around 6mm depth I think. You can see the tool path pattern and irregular height fairly easily in these photos…

any ideas?

Sudden workbee fault issue

Wed, 08 Sep 2021 01:21:48 -0700

Hi there, been using my workbee for a couple of years now, when suddenly it stopped, 99% of the way through a job. Whenever I now try to power the duet from the power supply, all the limit switches LEDs, as well as the green and red LEDs along the edge, flash over and over.

If I connect my laptop over YAT with the power supply turned off, the device behaves normally and I can see the web interface, and everything reports fine in YAT, so I have no idea what these flashing LEDs could mean, and can’t find any mention of this in the documentation. Any ideas?

Cheers
