Now that I had the power supply cornered and exactly where I wanted it it was time to mount the other components on the panel.
With the power supply frame completed I moved onto the mounting plate.
Now that I had a layout it was time to start the build and the first thing I did was change part of the plan…
I’ve received most of the electrical parts now so it’s time to start the build. The first thing to do is a dry run laying them out in the case.
There comes a time in every project when you have to just get a grip and get on with it and damn the consequences and I think I’ve got to that stage with the electrical part of this build. I’m still reading everything I can get my hands on but it seems to just be …
I’ve been reading everything I can get my hands on regarding the electrical design for this machine but I’m still most stumbling around in the dark. Everyone else seems to find is trivially easy and I suppose in some ways it is but I really don’t want to connect to parts together and release the …
Limit switches or sensors are not absolutely required on a machine, it will work just fine without, but they are a very good addition as they prevent potentially expensive and dangerous crashes. There are three levels of safety when it comes to limits: Take care to never program the machine to go outside the working …
I always knew that the electrical side of this project would be difficult but I hadn’t realized quite how difficult it would be. With the mechanical aspects of the build at least you can look at either the part or a 3D model and have a good understanding of whether it will fit together / …
Since the last article all the way back in September the build hasn’t move very far forward but I thought it was time for an update as a few interesting things happened in the last couple of days. My main focus has been on getting the power supply designed and getting all the parts ordered …
Those of you following my build logs will have noticed that the Wyvern machine build seems to have ground to a halt (as of Sept 2013). There was nothing inherently wrong with the build (although I can now see several areas for improvement) but I simply ran out of space and time. I plan on …
