Progress

PSU Fab@home is in operational mode and continue to be in diagnostic form.


Build Notes

The Fab@home were completed mechanically by previous owner of the machine. I did check every part to make sure that were properly align and secure. Using the wiki *[fabahome.org] as a guide, the fab@home were mechanically build as instructed.

Electronic Kits=

Microcontroller Olimex Philip LPC-H2148 *[1] Apparently, we are missing the JTAG cord which is important for flashing the microcontroller. I believe we are specifically looking for OpenOCD with firmware v4. However, the board were flash for firmware v3.

Material

Currently we have Acrylic Winsor Blue available for part to print. More to come on order and check out vendors for harware and material:

Diagnostic Notes

Currently, Fab@home machine has a working X axis and Z axis. Y axis does not function very well because there is something wrong with the motor not being adjusted. Also, the X axis seem to be driven itself after the program are close, which is not good. With in this week, we can expected to get the Fab@home ready for future project.
