Hello,
I have built a simple DIY DRO ESP32 (REV 1.3 TouchDRO Kit V.2) and would like to use the W input for a fourth LINEAR axis.
Is this possible?
In the touchdro app I can't find an option to set the W input for a linear magnetic scale....
The X and Y Input works with the magnetic scale.
Sorry for my bad english
I habe see the new Message on TouchDro Website (Update 2024-11-14)
"instructions for a DIY adapter for optical and magnetic scales will be posted shortly"
I would like to have a professional circuit board made after some tests and have prepared the layout for it.
I have already prepared the layout as shown in the picture...
Edit next morning (2024.11.17)
I have removed the image from my layout because I read this morning that unfortunately there are people who are profiting from the project and illegally marketing the TocuDRO control system.
I don't want to support that with the image of my layout.
For me it is just a hobby and I want to help my brother who has a small lathe and a small milling machine.
The project is great and it is remarkable that there is the possibility of using the circuit diagrams privately at home!
The fourth axis should be for the lathe tailstock.
The app only has the angular axis settings for the fourth channel (W input) and you can only make the angle settings.
For the lathe I could use the W input for the second Z axis, but then no length value is displayed there either.
