Setting up firmware for fishing line spools
November 29, 2013 10:54AM
Hello,

I've searched for fishing line spool system setup and while I've found a few that show how to do it mechanically, I haven't found things that show how its done whitin the firmware.

So my spool diameter is 14.2mm and I have 0.35mm fishing line with 100 pound pull strength. I'm trying to figure out what the pulley teeth and "belt" pitch should for for fishing line. If somebody helps me, I will do a video about it for the future so everybody can do it easier smiling smiley

/** \brief Delta drive type: 0 - belts and pulleys, 1 - filament drive */
#define DELTA_DRIVE_TYPE 0

#if DELTA_DRIVE_TYPE == 0
/** \brief Pitch in mm of drive belt. GT2 = 2mm */
#define BELT_PITCH 1
/** \brief Number of teeth on X, Y and Z tower pulleys */
#define PULLEY_TEETH 44.58
#define PULLEY_CIRCUMFERENCE 44.58

Thanks

p.s. is this set up correctly(the formatting i mean).

#define AXIS_STEPS_PER_MM ((float)(MICRO_STEPS * STEPS_PER_ROTATION) / PULLEY_CIRCUMFERENCE)
#define XAXIS_STEPS_PER_MM 36
#define YAXIS_STEPS_PER_MM 36
#define ZAXIS_STEPS_PER_MM 36
