Re: CNC engraving machine spindle motor replacement
If all the specs are the same it should work. However, this is really a question for your VFD vendor to comfirm that the spindle is compatible with the VFD.

Re: Crazy offset when posting tool change paths
This is a problem that existed in the Buildbotics Controller some time ago. It was fixed quite some time ago.
Onefinity copied our software and hardware back in 2021 and went their own way. Apparently, they never fixed this problem.

Version 2 only works with the latest controller hardware which runs on the RPi4. We have noticed that the local monitor is a bit sluggish on the new stuff. Joe is looking into it.

Re: Buildbotics and LightBurn
You should be able to configure the controller as a PWM spindle and set speed range to match the power range that is output by the lightburn software in the form of 'S' commands. I haven't used lightburn but am assuming that it puts out 'S' commands in the gcode to control intensity. You will also w...

Rotary axis video and blog post
I created a new video that shows my first cut with the rotary axis that I added to my homebuilt CNC machine. Check it out on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu4jt7yHWkU I also wrote a blog article that describes how to set it up. You can read the article here: https://buildbotics.com/cutt...

New video
Check out my new video about the Buildbotics CNC Controller. It's a short marketing video that stresses how easy it is to get a machine running with a BB Controller. It would be great if you could view it, like it, and share it. Here's the link on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7uY8B01AIo...
