I notice when demonstrating the TinyBee controller and you drive the pairs of stepper motors, they appear to be travelling at different rates. Shouldn't they both be identical? If driving either side of an axis, different rates would cause the axis to skew and that would be bad. Is this because each motor is being driven from a different driver and perhaps they are setup for different step sizes or something? By the way, great video, very informative. I've had the desire to build a CNC for some years but time, space and $$ always seem to be a factor.

This certainly could be possible, but I haven’t had a chance to use one of them! The stepper pins only require a single direction communication, so there wouldn’t be much use for the bi-direction, but might be useful for any return channels if needed!

I wonder if you could help me with my dilemma? I built a CNC Plasma table and control it with an MKS DLC32 V2.1 board (with built in Wi-Fi) and Open Builds Control (which I really like). OB will run the g-code file just fine as long as the plasma machine (pilot arc) isn't turned on. Once the plasma cutter fires the CNC machine freaks out and ends up either stopping with the torch still firing, or it takes off in some random direction - and OB responds with a lost port error and I need to reconnect. Obviously this is an EMI issue. I've tried numerous shielding, grounding, and isolation methods with no luck. However, if I load the g-code file onto an SD card, insert it in the control board's card slot, and run the g-code on the card from the "MK Laser" app on my phone, I can get a successful cut - but this also has drawbacks as the MK Laser app doesn't have z-axis control (I hear it used to) and the Z-axis height changes once the g-code starts to run. Messing with the MK Laser app to get it working this way is just a huge PIA and I would prefer to have the code being executed from inside OB. What I would like to try is controlling the MKS DLC32 board via Wi-Fi through the Open Builds Control software, but OB doesn't find the board when I scan networks. I've read in the forums that OB uses "telnet?" and would need GrblHal to be installed on the MKS board. I've also read FluidNC might work. But this is where things start to get over my head. Nevertheless, I'm convinced I could flash my board with either GrblHal or FluidNC (maybe even old ESP?) but I would need to get some very simplistic instructions on what steps I need to take to accomplish this. I realize a better card with ethernet or parallel connectivity would be a smart alternative, but I'd really like to see if I could get this card to pull it off. If you could assist me without boggling my mind with too much tech jargon (since I'm over 60 and this stuff will surely not attach to my brain neurons without many reiterations of the same info) I would very much appreciate it. For me simple is like this: go to ___ and find ___ and open it and then navigate to ___ and place it in ___ by dragging to ___ and then... After you do that then go to ___ and download ___ and then open the folder named ___ and then... etc. Thanks! Robert H.

Instead of the step, dir & ena as positive inputs they need to be a negative/ground inputs if that makes sense? The com input is the 3v/5v from tinybee. I don’t believe the signals can be reversed on the tinybee, however there is a way. In my CNC wiring video I show how you can use a ULN2003 chip to reverse (or boost) the signal.

De description on the error on one of the stepper motores is not correct, on the input on one af the stepper driver, you just need a small res to the inputs. Its a opto input and in goes from arount 2.7 to 5volt.

Thanks for your comment! I’m not sure what you mean here. The output of the esp32 is 3v and 5v is required to drive some drivers hence the use of the Darlington transistor to convert the signal voltage. I use optocouplers with the limit switches if that is what you are referring to? My wiring diagram is not correct and from the uln2003 and have the wrong wires connected (not sure how I made this error).

Hi have question about tinybee or just want to clear some things out. Searched all-around internet but cannot find info about tinybee logic levels for stepper drivers... but seems that You are using different drivers (with written markings on them that they support 5-24V logic input) with different capabilities on single tiny bee board. Have stepper online closed loop Nema 34 kits.. and their datasheet clearly states that it supports logic level inputs starting 5v... and here I see that You are using tiny bee without any logic level converters (stepups) which I also want to avoid... So does Tinybee support 5v logic level for stepper drivers ???

Great question!! In short - YES the tinybee coverts the logic to 5v logic from eap32. From what I can see, the esp32 goes to a HC125 chip to convert logic voltage then onto the shift registers to handle the pin extension output to each driver at 5v logic.

@@NEWTechCreative thank You very much !!! have long time standing unfinished cnc... and for longest was waiting for proper controllers and firmware to come out... did not wanted to goo back to mega2560 and marlin, also to arduino and grbl or any other half backed grbl variation... especially when 3d printing with Vorons... so klipper equivalents or nothing... so linuxCNC (rare hardware, mostly custom with not much documentation) or grblHAL... meantime had few old BTT motherboards but their support also was half backed for grblHAl... and time to time was checking for new Ideas and your videos on DIY CNC came out... So congratulation on cool cnc builds. Love them all!!! videos also fully informative !!!! And also for quick response... Will definitely be ordering 2 tinybee's now. For old project (large format printNC mockup with diy rails) and for future project (with cutting area less than 1x1m)

Not a problem! I’m glad to hear you’re finally moving forward with finishing your CNC. The only downside is that there are limited pins on the tinybee but will be sufficient for 6axis and 4 inputs (limits and touch plate) put you can use a couple of other pins from the Exp slots, however limited. If you want to take advantage of all pins and have full spindle control with rs485 you can upgrade to a dedicated fluidnc board something like the root controller or barts 6pack board. Good luck with finishing your CNC!! 🤩🤩

Hello. I want to get information about something. I'm having communication problems with the Mach3 so I'm going to replace the board. Can we do CNC embossing with Tinybee card? relief gcode files require high memory. Even a simple run contains 30-50mb gcode.

Most esp32 CNC boards have an Sd card module, otherwise you can connect an Sd module to the esp32 board. Once module is setup you can store files onto Sd card. What board are you using? You can also use direct from pc with usb if you want to use like mach3.

The tinybee comes with the Sd card module ready to go… very easy setup. You will need to use a micro Sd card that has 8gig or less as the larger Sd cards don’t play well with these boards. I purchased a stack of 4gig cards online cheap that work fine.

What is the advantage of ESP32 over the Arduino in a CNC controller?

@NEWTechCreative

3 ай бұрын

Great question. Depends what you refer to as arduino? If you are referring to an arduino Uno or alike - these are 8bit boards and esp32 are 32bit boards (x4 faster!) with a dual core processor. The other great advantages are that they have built in wifi/bluetooth, they are cheap and common boards, tali’s have a stack on inputs and outputs in both analog and digital and can have a very low power usage. 👍👍

@@arbjfulNo, you don’t need a computer to run - if you load fluidnc or grblHAL you can use the webUI to control and send gcode via any device - even your smart phone. Essentially the esp32 stores a webpage that you use to control the CNC over Wi-Fi. You can also use grbl control software such as UGS, CNCjs, focus etc to connect and use as you would with a traditional grbl controller 👍👍
