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. Reference*[2]


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*[3]

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.
