Help with FW e SW Delta printer #489

Open mmatt94 opened 8 years ago

Hello I am Matteo , student of Automation ad Packaging from Bologna, Italy

I need a help regarding the firmware to a related software to be able to use the robot.

I'm doing a Delta Robot, like the one in the picture (link), for use as a 3D printer.

The robot is driven by brushless motors 3 Nema 23 with its driver. This driver has the direction inputs, Step, etc. and it can optionally be controlled by USB. (The driver of the seller said that can be controlled by macro

I think use arduino and RAMPS 1.4 board (and a Repetier SW & FW), but this method is used for linear and non-parallel delta as my robot.

He is able to give me some advice to program Arduino with the features of my robo to put it to use?

Thank you very muchl!

Not more as I did in the forum, except that I forgot to mention that all the z probing/homing stuff would most prabably not work with that setup and also would need replacement. All implemented printer types behave linear with regard to z moves so only linear dependency between steps and z height is assumed. With this setup this is not valid any more.
