We made Mantis 9,1:
Here are instructions and step by step instructions in making the Mantis 9.1
We did have inventory.
Spindle making
- For the spindle making we used the low cost spindle 1.0 http://makeyourbot.org/low-cost-spindle-1-0
The 3 axis motor
- This is the stepper motor we use for the 3 axis sleds [1]
Board making
You'll need to make four different types of circuit boards:
- QTY 1 Fabnet Adaptor Board (076-000a) [2]
- QTY 1 Stepper Motor Controller (076-001) [3]
- QTY 1 H-Bridge (076-004) [4]
- QTY 3 D.Carr Driver Boards A3982-1.0 [5]
- QTY 1 3 axis parallel port interface 1.0 [6]
FabNet
serialport = self.open_serial_port(fabnet_port, 38400, 0.2) -> serialport = self.open_serial_port(fabnet_port, 19200, 0.2)
Software
Questions and thoughts
- How do we combine
- before making the spindle ->
- On the Fab Net, suggestion, to help debugging, it would be good to have leds on transmit and receive, to be able to see if we are transmitting information or not.
