Quotebobc Jesus, don't you ever get tired of spamming for Duet? Desperate for sales? Whatever the topic, on any web site, you manage to get a plug in for Duet. You're as bad as Arthur Wolf!

Hey. The Smoothie project is working on something pretty neat for CNC / 3D printing using cameras and OpenCV. If you have OpenCV skills, and want to contribute to a cool project, or are looking for a for-pay consulting OpenCV job, please contact me at wolf.arthur@gmail.com Cheersby arthurwolf - General
There are several options, including one that looks somewhat like RRF's We tried porting RRF's interface over to Smoothie but there was so much that was specific to RRF that that was never finished. We are working on several web interface projects that would be much better than anything around at this point, but those are huge projects that are still going to take time.

QuoteRoxy I would only change a couple of things. Up to this point in time 512 bytes of EEPROM was fine. I think we are somewhere in the 150 byte range for Marlin's RCBugFix branch. But the UBL code is storing multiple high resolution Mesh's in the EEPROM. It would be good to have a minimum of 4KB of EEPROM. I expect this would have a SD card so it doesn't matter much.by arthurwolf - Controllers

I have never used the universal adapter, but I don't think you are supposed to enable that many pins. You should enable just what you need. If you can't get it to work, you can try asking in the Smoothie IRC channel.by arthurwolf - Smoothie
Are you sure everything is connected correctly ?by arthurwolf - Smoothie
Quoteyoyobob19 Your smoothie is running 3.3v logic the driver most likely needs 5 so you need a logic gate or set the pins to ground and connect a 5v PSU to the PUL+ DIR+ and STEP+ i had the same problem with the radds on due which is also a 3.3v logic. I solved that problem using logic level shifters hope this helps. On a Smoothieboard, you don't need to use level shifters. You just need to conby arthurwolf - Smoothie
I don't speak italian, sorry about that, but I just wanted to point out that Smoothie is an open-source project, made by hundreds of volunteers, and that the MKS folks are a cancer that is destroying that project. If you buy a MKS it is because you like Smoothie's features, but by buying the board, you are destroying the project that created those features. Sorry for disturbing.

Quote762x51 I like the Smoothie Smoothie likes you too then Quote762x51 but I also like that the Rumba's stepper drivers can be changed out if one of them decides to let the smoke out and stops working. You may not know this, but it's also the case for your Smoothieboard. It's important to note that the on-board drivers ( like on the Smoothieboard ) are much less likely to die than pololu drby arthurwolf - Firmware - Marlin

Quotedc42 Hi Arthur, What do you expect to be the benefits of S-curve acceleration, in a 3D printer? I'm not sure there'll be many for a 3D printer really. The research I did showed that the only advantage of S-curve was increased tool life on large CNC mills. However, others argue that it also helps manage machine shaking, the same way max_jerk/junction_deviation does. Yet others say it jusby arthurwolf - Smoothie
Quotedc42 Quotearthurwolf This changes Smoothie to calculate acceleration for every step instead of 1000 times a second, which results in even smoother/better quality movement. It'r nice to see another firmware doing this - welcome to the club! Thanks We should be getting S-curve accel and n-axis support soon too. We don't plan on implementing the per-step delta stuff though.by arthurwolf - Smoothie
Dear Smoothie community. Jim Morris just merged a massive code refactor into Smoothie ( ). Thanks to him for this truly massive chunk of work, and to all those who tested it before merging. This changes Smoothie to calculate acceleration for every step instead of 1000 times a second, which results in even smoother/better quality movement. It also comes with many many smaller improvements toby arthurwolf - Smoothie

Quoteo_lampe Would it work to use a multiplexer for the single QEI of the smoothieboard? If only one axis moves at a time, I think so yes.by arthurwolf - General
Quoteo_lampe QuoteIf so you want as much of the work going on withing the firmware, or you'll meet problems very easily with synchronizatio, precision etc. What synchronization? The ATtiny gets the step/dir signal from the Atmega ( or other main controller ) and takes care of one motor in a closed loop. But AFAIK there is no feedback to the planner of the maincontroller that allows to sync theby arthurwolf - General
