Smoothie

Cool project !
How about using a Smoothieboard and the Smoothie firmware instead of a grbl-based solution ?
We make it very simple to add new "arm solutions" to convert cartesian coordinates into actuator coordinates ( https://github.com/Smoothieware/Smoothieware/tree/edge/src/modules/robot/arm_solutions )
Also, it's 32bits, so it'll be faster and smoother. And it's got a larger community, is very actively developed, etc ...
We'd send you a free board if you say you'll add the code to smoothie.
Cheers :)
Arthurwolf, it would be awesome!
Of course I'll share everything I'll do with the Smothieboard :)
I have seen that the Smothieboard can control up to 5 steppers, isn't it? As Thor has 6 DOF (without counting the gripper) I think I will need add something to control the last one.
Regards!
Hey.
Yes, you'll need to add an external driver to it. It's very easy to do, you can use any pin for this.
Can you email me at wolf.arthur@gmail.com with your full shipping address and phone number ?
Thanks :)
Cheers.
Package received!
Thank you very much =)
Let's keep in touch!
