Re: ebay auto feeder- feasible?

It is productive now: I am listening at the serial wire between PC and Tiny G. If the tiny G gets the signal to move to a specific feeder position I open the lid. After the nozzle Z=0 move i close it. It is all done by an Arduino Mega and a NEXTION touch display. You configure all feeder data at the...

Re: ebay auto feeder- feasible?

Because I am waiting for more RC-Servos to operate more feeder I have build feeder holders to hold some of my feeder in a cabinet right over my p&p maschine. To keep 45x 8mm 12x 12 mm and 2x 16 mm on stock should be enough for my little PCBs. If someone is interested in such mechnical non motori...

Re: ebay auto feeder- feasible?

It is running - have produced the first 25 PCBs with 8x 0,1 µF = 200 parts 4x 1 k = 100 parts 3x LED = 75 parts 2x 10 µF = 50 parts No major problems - I am happy not to feed the flat bad feeders with this amount of parts - 75 more PCBs are waiting for this p&p job already. Time to install more ...

Re: ebay auto feeder- feasible?

Hello Juku, today I have assembled my 4 test feeder. The operation by 4 RC-Servos works fine. In general you tend to place the high count parts close to the PCB to shorten the travel time. Meanwhile this travel time is so short that I barely get the parts feed into the pick up position by my actual ...

Re: ebay auto feeder- feasible?

Hello World, I - and maybe most of us - have the issue to place per PCB 8x 0,1 µF, 4x LED or 9x 1 k Ohm - that is no fun and you cry for a feeder. To determine which feeder has to be re-feeded is so easy! Just hook an Arduino on the RX line of the tiny G Serial and listen to the traffic. Identify se...

Re: Software release, 9/11/2016

Great Work! This release fixed my "red cross" problem with the cameras. Have done 6 PCBs with 142 components each in one run without any camera problems. Only once the program freezes for about 2! breathtaking minutes before keeping up like normal finishing the job?... But that is OK for m...
