    Help Wanted KBIC 240 AC to DC Motor Control

    My KBIC 240 has the capacitor across L1 and L2 marked as C23 (a yellow, boxed plastic housing). Inscription is 0.047 μF @ 275 VAC. So perfectly in line with what @dieselpilot says. My board looks like this one (from the KB Electronics web site) :

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    Hi Don, I believe that's an easy one :) The file I have sent goes into \Documents\Arduino\libraries\LCD replacing the file "LCD.cpp" that lives there. I believe you moved and renamed it into the utility subdirectory as LiquidCrystal.cpp - no good. Let me know if this works out! Cheers, Torfilli

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    Hi Don, No problem at all; here it is. I have commented the lines 323-327 in the original code (from the package that Rod has uploaded elsewhere here in the thread) and have added immediately afterwards my replacement-function to return a keycode from the ADC value. No magic involved. The...

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    Ron, another (probably stupid) question: I see you are using Timer1.initialize() in setSpeed() and in timerIsr() instead of Timer1.setPeriod(). Any special reasons for that? Surprisingly, the Timer1 inline-code says initialize() stops the timer. I have added the speed change into...

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    In that case you could do : "%s/Operating_Hz/MAX_STEPPER_HZ/g" and fix the two syntax errors you will get at compile time. Saves a byte or two ;)

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    Another bug (?) Apart from the Operating_Hz variable which probably should be used here as well, it seems to me that start and target needs to flip, otherwise rampSteps gets negative, which presumably stops the stepper immediately instead of ramping down. I am still not very clear about...

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    That's not difficult. This is excellent code and a just-right solution. Yes, that's what I thought to do. I have seen that space is getting really, really tight. But I have a couple of things in my head which will need much more than available, so I stripped out all the linear stuff, the...

    Tips for Arduno software for Rotary Table Controllers

    Just a quick hello and a big thank you! I have just installed v10 without any major problem. The only annoyance I had were the keys on my DFRobot LCD shield (which looks like a SainSmart). My quick-fix was to replace the #define mapButton in LCD.cpp with a simple function. Certainly a tad...
