Hi all, After putting a Liteplacer together and having it finished a year ago, the work changed and right now my Liteplacer is just rathering dust, having been rarely used. So I am looking for a good home for it, as I've had all the learning experience I can from it :-) Looking forward to reasonable...

Hi All, It has been quite a while, but other projects/work interfered, and I've done extensive testing. My setup seems to be rather stable, up to the point where I'm fiddling with panelizing my boards. Just a short recap: - I've had a replacement TinyG and replacement FETs from Juha that I'm using n...

@AnalysIR: at least that should mean that I'm not completely crazy... thats a plus ;-) And I get your thought of taking photo's, I'll contact Juha I think and see if we can work through photo's and/or maybe a video call or something. I would just love to hear what I've done wrong, you know? And get ...

Hi all, I'm starting to be really frustrated with the situation here, as I cannot explain it so far. Still grateful for the help here though! Let me explain: @AnalysIR: Yes, I measured everything from the control pin to the power supply GND. All ground connections were coupled with the power supply ...

I've checked, in short: Both FETs are the same, the housing says D30NF06L GF36S027 (S might be a 5, not sure) With both solenoid and pump disconnected, voltage on both control pins is 0 volt when turned off in software (lights are off too), and 3 volts when turned on (lights come on then on TinyG) A...

Hi AnalysIR, Thank you for your reply, any and all thoughts highly appreciated :-) Fair call, if I'd have the wires swapped. I checked, doublechecked and triplechecked. This is how the wires are connected: - On the vacuum pump: I hooked the connector with the red dot to the 24VDC power supply + (I h...

Hi all, I've been following the build instructions, and I am coming across something unexpected: The vacuum pump turns on as soon as the TinyG has power, regardless of laptop or software input. It seems to be fluctuating with something like a random port voltage. When I tick the box in the software ...
