ELS Boost board open source? #61

Closed ccspoz closed 4 years ago

ccspoz commented 4 years ago

Hi clough42, firstly thanks so much for all the work you've made open source. I'm in the process of building one for a tiny lathe which doesn't currently have a lead screw. I plan to drive the topslide to enable threading and power feed that is otherwise impossible.

Sorry if I missed it, but I am just wondering if the ELS boost board is also open source, since shipping to the EU costs more than the board itself. I am also curious about what code you have running on the ELS board and why a simple level shifter wouldn't suffice there. I notice the board has the openHW logo on it but cant find any of the details anywhere.

Best regards ccspoz

I finally got to the video where you talked about the board production, and you mentioned circuitmaker. Can I suggest a link to this page goes in the wiki? Here it is for others following along: https://circuitmaker.com/Projects/Details/Clough42/Electronic-Leadscrew-V2-Booster-Pack

Sorry to ask a question that you already solved by producting excellent documentation!
