Hi Dan did I read somewhere you made a home made sky cam if so could you share how you went about it as I’d like to make one for my home workshop 3 meter x 3 meter.
Looking forward to your feed back any hints tips over what kit you used that would be great 👍🏻2018-03-12 at 12:23 #19388AnonymousInactiveHappy to contribute for any assistance given after all time is money etc I’m very new to Arduino and coding so as much help as possible will be appreciated.
[email protected]2018-03-12 at 14:22 #19389DanKeymasterWell my first one was merely a proof of concept.
Were I to do it today I’d use a 4 axis motor controller like the RUMBA or RAMPS.
The Makelangelo firmware already supports crude skycam kinematics.
We don’t currently have a kit before skycams because demand is too low.But feel free to ask questions and post your progress, we’re very interested and happy to advise.

Just having quick look before i get carried away and un pack all my bits!
2018-04-15 at 16:22 #19702DanKeymasterAFAIK the MKS Gen v1.4 board is not currently supported by makeangelo software. Do you have the pin configuration? It could be added.

> software doesn’t see motors attached to the control board
This confuses me. the software can never “see” motors attached. at best the software gets the correct “hello world, I am a MACHINE_X” and then it knows “oh right, i support machine_x, i will now let you do…things.
