NOTE: this is not a denford sourced motor, and is likely from a Taig or MAXNC mill, based on the table mount holes that were on it. This is a cool opportunity to learn about bipolar series and bipolar parallel, and I have yet to decide on which I plan to rewire the stepper to match. I have an 8 wire stepper, wired into 5 wires with a ground for a total of 6 wires in the cable.
my stepper driver is for a 4 wire bipolar motor. Here is another minor detail I need to sort. Well I always seem to think things will just fall into place. See: viewtopic.php?f=54&t=3576 This will be easy to make a suitable connector, and I can run that directly to my step driver. (I think/hope) On the Nextep card, there is a header with access to all step /direction output. The Nextstep card is from my lathe anyways, so I'm not loosing any function by downgrading it to a denstep card.
The reason for this: the nextstep card has 4 step/dir outputs where the denstep only has 3. I have not tested the two together, but that is coming soon In order to control the stepper driver, I will be swapping in a nextstep card for my micromill's Denstep.
I mounted that under the spindle controller. Among this "junk" was a stepper driver that coincidentally uses the same L2**** chip that the control board uses. After shortening some 10/32 bolts, the table mounted firmly on to the bed As for controlling the stepper, I had picked up some random electronics from a gentleman at a garage sale. I made up some T nuts at work, (just buy T nuts lol) and drilled in some new mounting holes. The next problem was mounting the table on to my mill's bed. I replaced it with a thumb wheel that I turned and knurled at work. It had a stepper and an encoder on it, but i opted not to keep the encoder, as it has its own set of difficulties. I was able to snag a sherline rotary table off of ebay for a pretty good deal. I strongly recommend printing two total tiles for every slot on your game board (36 for the board from the video.)Īll tiles print without supports.I have already initiated this project, but figured I would document what I have done thus far with some pics. These is the "starter kit" of prototype tiles for the Hextraction beta! Print whichever you want. Try the free 3D-printable game designed to make, mod, and master!
