Hello
I know this will be a little of topic, but i dunno in were should i post this.
Had anyone got any problems with machine keeping up with the steps? I am using a gecko drive and a 1.8°stepper motor, but when i was cutting wood, it seems to louse a few steps.
I do not like that, and i think this could be solved with encoders.
I was loking on the internet and when i was searching for some cheap encoders the most cheap ones i found were 100€ - 250€ so that is too much for me.
Does anyone know were i could get some cheap encoders wich would have a resolution of 400-500 resolutions per turn, or is the most cheap way to build one my self?
i found a
link on optical encoders and i think it would not be so complicated to build one?
