@jay_s_uk would you consider helping build a control box to suit my needs? you obviously have forgot more than i will ever no and i dont want to be throwing money down the pan as this is for my business not just a hobby. I would happily pay for your time. If easier whatsapp me on 07894636707. My company is Autoflock Motorsport

@jay_s_uk im really struggling with all that, you are on another level to me so i defo need to do some reading up. What are your thoughts on the blackbox 32? i would also really need a pendant as my machine is rather large and the pc is at the back wall mounted so jogging may be an issue

@jay_s_uk hi jay mate, thank oy for the reply, my post processer can export into both marlin and grbl which is good to know, but i think im better off starting a fresh with a new controller. This duet 2 wifi is brand new unused along with a brand new pendant so it may sell pretty quick. Just a bit put off as if i wanted a controller like my other cnc machine which is planet cnc then its about 650 euros

Hi Ian, to the rescue again i see lol. So im guessing I would be best just gettting rid of the duet 2 then? also is the duet 3 compatible with estlecam? not too sure what language (if thats the correct terminology) gcode it accepts. Ive read a few times that gcode generated by other software needs to be amended slightly in order to get it to work with the duet. Thanks for replying mate

Hi everyone, as above really, im trying to see if my duet 2 can control my 1.5kw vfd spindle as im thinking i may need to sell the duet and get a proper cnc controller. Im used to planet cnc software and controlling hardware so this is very different

@droftarts think i understand, im just in the process of routing the cables now so will post a pic up once i get to a point where i need some support into what goes where lol. I am using a duet 2 wifi i think

@droftarts Cheers Ian, but my god this is looking complicated lol is it a case of it just looks daunting to someone who doesnt know much about gcode? I usually have software which crates the gcode for me so this will be very high level for me

@gloomyandy Thanks for the reply mate much appreciated, reading now

Hi,

i am wondering if its possible for the duet to home the machine but treat the left and right motors of the long y axis on my 1500 x 1000 killerbee as individual so they home to the limit switch and each one stops when it reaches its on limit switch if that makes any sense.

Any help would be most appreciated
