CNC PENDANT and ETHERNET? #5

Open M10CUBE opened 5 months ago

M10CUBE commented 5 months ago

Hi terjeio I know I have been missing a long time but other obligations took me away.

I am re-working with your CNC BREAKEOUT NUCLEO 64. I have 2 questions please. 1 - Any idea of putting a CNC pendant box? DIY or ready. What correction do I have to do in firmware and how. 2 - Any progress of putting Ethernet on CNC BREAKEOUT NUCLEO 64?

Well been wishes for everybody here EDIT The pendant is required to plugged somehow into the CNC BREAKEOUT NUCLEO (64 not into PC with the G CODE SENDER Thanks

1 - MPG mode, possibly in combination with the keypad plugin is available. 2 - Available - see the board map.

Note that due to limited number of pins there are restrictions on which options can be enabled together.

Thanks @terjeio . Is this part of the GRBLHAL code? If not how can I embed it? A long time ago using your directions I uploaded the code via a web interface but I forgotten how. If I understated correctly I must use some RX, TX pins in BREAKEOUT NUCLEO to communicate with my custom MPG board. I am not sure witch pins are the correct t ones.

I am looking at your GRBL_MPG_DRO_BoosterPack project. I see that you progress it a lot but still no keyboard on Pico I am thinking to do the MPG totally using Raspberry Pico board(s). I saw the discussion about the 2 Picos and liked it. I may start with a very simple Pico design sending MPG to BREAKEOUT NUCLEO and stick to the discussion... If any suggestions happy to hear. Thanks again

These.

I am thinking to do the MPG totally using Raspberry Pico board(s).

I have added automatic programming of the MSP430 to the Pico code so it can be added as just any other componet. If you want to use a Pico for keyboard scanning/LED control the MSP430 code has to be ported to it.

I have started a discussion for an MPG using only 2 Picos. It is an approach started 2 years ago with only some hours spent on the idea. Considering the interest on that I think it will be an interesting approach, useful to the community. https://github.com/grblHAL/RP2040/discussions/92#discussion-6889273 Please comment if you have some spare time. It is nice to know that I am on the right track Thanks
