fennelevenarms: it's morning in fennville18:24
elevenarmsgood to know18:24
elevenarmswhat's your recommendation for open source stepper drivers?18:25
elevenarmslooking to go super cheap and bipolar18:25
genehackerwhat are you doing with steppers18:25
elevenarmshektor clone18:26
kanzurefennville: the latest destination of the asshole express18:26
kanzurei tried to make it funny18:26
kanzurebut it didn't work18:26
fenn7I40L is rated at 10A 40 VDC per axis while the 7I40H is rated at 7A 80 VDC per axis.18:28
fennso you should get the 7I40H18:28
fennthe 50 pin cables are just scsi connectors18:28
elevenarmsfor the puma?18:28
fennyeah18:28
fenni havent finished reading backlog18:29

kanzureyou missed nothing18:31
fennhum i probably would have just run the motors at lower voltage, but whatever18:32
elevenarmsyou can never have enough speed18:33
elevenarmsi think kanzure agrees18:33
fennelevenarms: the pololu stepper drivers are super cheap and quiet, but hard to get a heatsink on and only good for tiny motors18:33
elevenarmsup to nema 24?18:33
elevenarmsor really tiny?18:33
fennwould probably run nema 2318:33
kanzureelevenarms: you should glue some suction cups on the back of the servo mounts for the hektor clone18:34
fenni think they're like 2.5A18:34
kanzureer, stepper mounts18:34
fennoh you're doing hektor? should work fine18:34
elevenarmsyea...18:34
elevenarms~$12 each18:34

fenndoes that have a counterweight?18:34
elevenarmsno... i was thinking of adding a third leg18:35
elevenarmswould need to write some code to figure the tension 18:35
fenni meant counterweight over the top steppers, so they don't have to work to keep it held up18:37
kanzureelevenarms: if you have the laptop with the parallel port (or a usb-parallel cable) the drivers are here:18:37
kanzurehttp://designfiles.org/~bryan/uls25ps/18:38
kanzurehttp://designfiles.org/~bryan/uls25ps/ulsxpdriver.zip18:38
elevenarmsawesome.18:38
fennyou could tension the platform with a third leg too, just use some pulleys so you dont get a pendulum effect going on18:38

fennalso you could do a capstan drive18:48
elevenarmshmm18:50
fennhttp://fennetic.net/irc/hektor_capstan.png18:52
fennif you're super picky about keeping constant tension on the lines you can replace the springs with regulated pneumatic cylinders18:52
elevenarmswhat no flywheel?18:53
