And you're followed

[BeardRex]

Neat!

[srmarkovic]

It would be great if you use a few step motors! You can use steppers from old scanners, printers, cd-devices or so. I have a few old but working steppers if you need it.

 

If you want I can make you Atmega328 board with drivers for 3 step motors and eventually additional  3 very strong PWM outputs (I'v just got 100pcs IRFZ44N mosfets from Aliexpress today) and one display like you used in previous build (I use i2c interface so I need only 2 digital outputs from MPC for display), on one single pcb for free. It is better to connect it to internal COM if motherboard has one, I did it this way in my last build, but I also have COM to USB interface pcb. I can put some software in Atmega eeprom, which also has 2KB for parameters so it can work independently from PC (during post) but I also usually make Windows service and control application so it can be controlled through PC. 

 

My friend and me, we had CNC machine but not anymore, I was building a new one but somehow I got stuck.... and I am doing other stuffs. I hope that I will finish it in 2017. So....  when I make it work, I'll do aluminium parts again.

My friend has a few big lathes and a mill in his workshop and I use to do any round part like stand, I need in his workshop for free.   

 

There is a great  great store a few km from me. They have everything you can imagine and prices are so low.

 

Wish you all the best!

[neSSa]

Thnx guys!

 

@srmarkovic You read my mind?

[srmarkovic]

I found Taichi at Asrock site and I saw that it has one internal COM port header and this is PERFECT!

 

You can freely say that I am a redneck but just for fun I made software which change color and intensity of RGB in my PC case according to master sound output level with and without software ALC. My friends like this but I just wanted to prove that I could have very fast NT service control  with less than 1% CPU usage. I also tried software on very slow dual core PC and I got same results.

did you make those models or were did you find those?

[neSSa]

I made case

It's very nice to see the Taichi board being used in a custom build. It's got a striking design. Looking forward to see where you carry it.
