Description

This device controls the rotations of the spinning platform.

Usage Instructions

  • The switches control the rotations of the spinning platform.
  • Clicking the switch connected to BTN A of the controller causes the target platform position to increment by one rotation in the positive direction.
  • Clicking the switch connected to BTN B of the controller causes the target platform position to increment by one rotation in the negative direction.
  • The platform spins until its position equals the target position and then it stops, waiting indefinitely for more user input.
  • For example, if the platform is stopped and the user presses the switch connected to BTN A five times and then quickly presses the switch connected to BTN B two times, then the platform will rotate three full revolutions in the positive direction. (target position = 5 - 2 = 3). If the user waits until the platform has rotated three times until it stops and then presses the switch connected to BTN B three times, the platform will rotate three times in the negative direction and end up where it started originally.

Build Instructions

  • This controller is made from a single 5x3 form factor modular device.
  • This device consists of two pcbs, the (modular_device_base_5x3) and the (stepper_controller_5x3).
  • In addition to the two pcbs, there is one acrylic mounting plate (modular_device_enclosure 5x3 enclosure_bottom), and two switches (modular_device_remote_switch).
  • Send the zip files containing the gerbers for each of the two pcbs to your favorite pcb manufacturer for fabrication.
  • Using the bill of materials and vendor parts lists order the parts necessary for construction for the two pcbs, the mounting plate, and the two switches.
  • Assemble each of the pcbs using the assembly instructions provided for each.
  • Use the dxf file for the enclosure_bottom to cut the mounting plate from the acrylic sheet using a laser cutter or send the dxf to a laser cutting service for fabrication.
  • Assemble the two remote switches using the assembly instructions, cutting the cables to the length necessary for the specific setup.
  • Connect the four stepper motor wires to a 4 position 0.2 inch terminal block plug connector according to the following table. Then connect that plug into T1 (motor 0) on the stepper controller pcb.

  • Choose appropriate size of 0.125 inch thick acrylic sheet and cut out dxf file using a laser cutter.
  • Press captive nuts into each of the small mounting holes.
  • Insert one 0.375 inch cap screw into each hole on the modular device base pcb marked with a white circle and screw a round threaded standoff onto the other side.
  • Align header pins of the top pcb with the sockets of the modular device base and press the top pcb onto the base until it is firmly seated.
  • On the 5x3 form factor modular devices, place one of the round unthreaded spacers between the top pcb and the base pcb at the two mounting holes furthest from the header pins.
  • Place one nylon washer onto each of the 1.25 inch cap screws and insert one of the screws with a washer into each of the mounting holes on the top pcb marked with a white circle.
  • Align the 1.25 inch cap screws with the captive nuts pressed into the acrylic and screw each one in firmly, but not so tightly as to bend the acrylic.

Assembly Instructions

  • Choose 0.125 inch expandable sleeving color and cut to 18 inches.
  • Expand sleeving and slip over the two pendant switch wires, pushing it over the wires until the sleeve is within 0.5 inches from the switch.
  • Slip one 0.25 inch x 1 inch heat shrink tube over the wires and expanded sleeveing and push it as close to the switch as possible so it is covering one fraying end of the sleeving.
  • Slip another 0.25 inch x 1 inch heat shrink tube over the wires and expanded sleeving and push it until the center of the heat shrink tube is about 1.5 inches from the ends of the switch wires so it is covering the second fraying end of the sleeving.
  • Use a heat gun to shrink both heat shrink tubes on the sleeving and switch wires.
  • Use wire cutter to trim the two switch wires to the same length.
  • Use wire stripper to remove 0.1 inches of insulation from each of the two switch wires.
  • Use crimp tool to crimp one socket onto the end of each switch wire, using a total of two sockets.
  • Insert each of the two sockets into one receptacle connector, either wire can be placed into the pin 1 position, the placement position is not imporant.
  • Cut the 2-conductor cable to the desired length and remove 2 inches of the cable jacket from each of the two ends of the cable.
  • Slip a 0.25 inch x 1 inch heat shrink tube over each end of the cable jacket and use a heat gun to shrink it into place.
  • Use wire cutter to trim the two cable wires to the same length on each side of the cable.
  • Use wire stripper to remove 0.1 inches of insulation from each end of the two wires in the cable.
  • One one end of the cable, use crimp tool to crimp one socket onto the end of each the two cable wires, using a total of two sockets.
  • Insert each of the two sockets into one receptacle connector, either wire can be placed into the pin 1 position, the placement position is not imporant.
  • One the other end of the cable, use crimp tool to crimp one pin onto the end of each the two cable wires, using a total of two pins.
  • Insert each of the two pins into one plug connector, either wire can be placed into the pin 1 position, the placement position is not imporant.
  • Insert the receptacle connector attached to the switch into the plug connector on the cable.
  • Insert the receptacle connector attached to the cable into a two-pin BTN connector on the modular device.

Assembly Instructions

  • Solder header pins into the stepper driver board(s), making note of TOP label. Insert header pins on bottom of board so that the long unsoldered header pins point down when the TOP label faces up.
  • Expose one side of the thermal adhesive tape and attach to the bottom of the heatsink. Trim tape so it does not extend beyond heatsink edges.
  • Expose the other side of the thermal adhesive tape and attach the heatsink to the stepper driver board on the side with the TOP label.
  • Solder surface mount and through hole components onto the pcb.
  • Insert stepper driver board(s) into pin receptacles.
