SmartPendant: is it compatible with my controller? How can I check?
In this video I answer most popular question: is SmartPendant compartible with particular controller?
I plan to release SmartPendant kit soon. It will include everything is needed to build one, except 3D printed case parts. Link to store(US only): devtronic.square.site

      @@FoxyBuildsDIY I still plan to sell the pendant only. Probably as a kit that includes everything that is needed: preassembled board, two front buttons, status LEDs, BlackPill, handwheel and display. The main problem with selling only pendant - I could guarantee that it will work with a particular controller. Not many other controllers have MPG/DRO interface via UART.

    I bought one of these controllers and with help from Nick was able to get it up and running. It’s extremely accurate and controls the closed loop stepper motors effortlessly. Definitely worth the money. I do wish there was a better wiring diagram though. That aside I’m extremely happy with it.

    I think you should do something else. You won't beat the Chinese either in terms of knowledge or performance. Whether in a factory or in a basement, they make things that simply work and are affordable. As an amateur, I have to spend a lot of money and waste even more time to complete your project. I can get it from the Chinese in two days and 200% cheaper and it works.

      This is a standalone setup you don't need a computer to run your cnc. This hooks up to your control box and your good to go. You still need a computer to put your gcode on a SD card and that's what you use on this device to run your machine.

    Great update, you explain things clearly even to a beginner. I would love to build one and feature it on a CNC video on my channel but I cannot seem to get the PCB ordered! I've got the handwheel, screen and BlackPill but I have never done electronics design and have a hard time getting my head around how to order a populated PCB based on the BOM. Would it be possible to make a simple (maybe just written) guide on how to do it? I'd love to plug your design and check out how it works with a beginner CNC!

    Fantastic build! Did you ever try to build the project with platformio? Would also be nice to see a bit more how this connects to the grblHAL board. And if I may suggest, adding the gerbers, the bom and the p&p file and the hex as release artifacts would be super useful. Great project!

    I designed a board use the fluidnc, does it support? or SmartPendant only use the UART comunication? the fluidnc use the IIC to comunication to Pendant

    • @NicolaiLab
      @NicolaiLab 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It doesn't support FluidNC at the moment. Why I2C? According to this page: wiki.fluidnc.com/en/config/uart_sections "UART channel create a new Grbl interface on a UART. This is designed for displays, pendants and external controllers", so technically it should be possible to add FluidNC support into SmartPendant and connect it via UART.

    Nice work Nicolai. Next time, I might suggest mounting the 3 jaw chuck of your lathe on the bed of your mill, to hold the part more securely. Otherwise, you could prepare a set of aluminum soft jaws with a recess the same diameter as the base of the part to better hold it in the vice.

    If you want to know what a SmartPendant for grblHAL is, it's a device to manually control a CNC machine (like Nicolai has in the background.) More information on his pendant is available here: th-cam.com/video/z-IoQAUr2qA/w-d-xo.html

    @jasonhall3923 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    looking good, think making it open source might help you build a larger communbity and support for your work and products. I was looking at the firmware and looks like you added usb cdc support so it can act as a usb host vs using uart ? if so that is great as I wanted to try to run and operate without a PC on my current project

    • @NicolaiLab
      @NicolaiLab 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, at this point it works as a USB CDC device. It is for debug purposes - all data traffic between the pendant and controller can be sent to USB too.

  • @Hyper_D

    • @NicolaiLab
      @NicolaiLab 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      At first my plan was to make open source software and keep the PCB to sell those devices to fund my hobby. Now I am reconsidering this approach - there are some complications with shipping outside the US - shipping is expensive(for example to ship to Norway cost about $33) and local taxes(like 23% VAT in the EU) will make the price way too high than I would like($100 + shipping for a finished device). I will probably make a PCB open source soon.
