Line 1: Line 1:
-pr0ncnc is the standard platform that I use to build my CNC microscopes.  A typical system consists of: 
-  * uvscada for high level control 
-  * AmScope MU800 camera 
-  * Driver box 
-    * BBB running machinekit 
-    * BBB cape w/ optional CD4050 3.3V => 5V boosters 
-      * XYZ output standard 
-    * Connected over USB w/ static USB-ethernet bridge IP 
-    * Case: Hammond 1591-E 
-  * IMS MDrive stepper motors (such as MDrive17 or MDrive23) 
-  * Linear stages vary 
-  * Step/direction connectors: Combicon 4 pin  
-    * TODO: move to mini connectors 
-  * Where applicable, bipolar motors use Combicon 5 pin 
-  * Newport 39 mirror mount (tip tilt stage) 
- 
-BBB bolt pattern 
-  * WARNING: not square.  According to breakout.py: 
-    * 0.000, 0.000 
-    * 0.000, 1.900 
-    * 2.600, 0.125 
-    * 2.600, 1.775 
-  * For 4-40 standoffs into case 
-  * Standoffs are CA glued in 
-  * Standoffs should not peek out other side 
-  * Consider putting Kapton on back in case they stick through slightly 
-  * Need tight fit.  Drill size? 
-

-====== Motor connector ====== 
- 
-Although there is a de-facto DB25 standard for step/direction pulses (from Compumotor?), I don't like DB25 connectors.  Instead I use Combicon connectors since I can quickly wire them up and plug/unplug them. 
- 
-#29 drill for panel mount Combicon bolt holes using 6-32 SHCS 
- 
-Cable colors 
-  * Step+: red (left) 
-  * Step-: black 
-  * Dir+: blue 
-  * Dir-: white (right)

-====== BBB 5V cape ======

-Based on CRAMPS pinout

-  * Dir: white 
-  * Step: blue 
- 
-I'd like to stick with 5 V CMOS style outputs since all my units can take those 
-  * Traditional drivers are optocopulers and take resistor limited +/- 5V inputs 
-  * MDrive17, MDrive23 basically 5-24V open drain but can also operate CMOS 
- 
-IMS MDrive probably don't take much current (TODO: verify) 
- 
-My Compumotor M-Drive requires 20 mA min 
-  * CD4050 can typically only source 3 mA or so 
-  * HEF4050 can do 20 mA max...borderline 
-  * Sparkfun BOB-12009 theoretically can do 220 mA 
- 
-Originally I shied away from the BOB, but think I can simplify the soldering process to make it more attractive

-====== BBB pinout ======

- 
- 
-====== Camera calibration ====== 
- 
-Put white piece of paper under camera 
- 
-Run manbal.py to get RGB values 
- 
-Adjust V4L controls until balanced 
- 
-Place V4L control values into microscope.json 
-  * see example configs for specific usage
