Afgelopen week heb ik mijn profiler omgebouwd met de interface-kaart van Benny. De Profiler wordt dan aangestuurd via de parallelle poort van de computer. Met Mach3 (bijv) en G-code kun je dan volledige 3D toolpaden frezen.
De opbouw van de kaart en de ombouw is redelijk eenvoudig, en het werkt perfect. Ik heb een engelstalige instructie gemaakt voor geinteresseerden.
Er komen geen exotische onderdelen aan te pas.
Benny zoekt momenteel uit hoe hij de pcb, of bestukte interfacekaart beschikbaar gaat stellen.

Met dank aan Benny Croonen!
Opmerkingen en suggesties zijn welkom.

Easy upgrade to let the profiler work with G-code and more sofisticated software. (Also 3D!)
I'll continue to write this thread in English so more people can enjoy the fun of adapting the electronics of the profiler. It's is relatively easy!
Yesterday I managed to complete my setup as mentioned in the message above. I added the two missing solid state relais and now Mach3 also controls the spindle an the vacuumcleaner.
The instructions you can find below.

This adaption makes the processor of the PC fully responsible for the timing and control of the steppermotordrivers inside the profiler. The little processorboard is removed. The control-signals (step and dir) to the profiler are send over the parallel port of the PC. I have a setup with a pentium3, 1000mhz and Mach3 and it works smoothly. It also enables you to control with your own keypads, controllers, joysticks or hacked keyboard...

My card is designed by Benny and the only thing it does is interfacing between the processor of te pc and the motordrivers.
Links to other upgrades of the core of your mill:
-On the french forum Abiz made a nice transplantation (less complicated as it seems.)

-I think this card can be used too:http://www.usbcnc.com/. That would mean an USB connection. I have to check this but I think it can...
The transplantation is somewhere in the internals of this machine. But my mobile-profiler looks like this at the moment. (Noise and dust free, the screen of the PC is not yet Mach3)

Goedemorgen,
Ik heb de post gelezen en is het mogelijk dat iemand contact kan opnemen om dit voor mijn profiler aan te passen. mvg wilco 0623227911
