At the last minute, I got permission from my wife to attend the Midwest RepRap Festival in Goshen, Indiana this weekend (March 14-16). That means I am now in serious crunch mode (along with the rest of the folks working on MachineKit) to get some demos working for the event. I am working on finishing my Wally beta build so I can get it printing using real-time kinematics powered by LinuxCNC. Michael Haberler and Alexander Rossler are working on a networked HAL demo that will show some of what is possible using the new real-time foundation at the heart of MachineKit. Everyone else is helping with marketing materials, website updates, and all the other tasks that need to get done.
If you're going to the festival, look me up. In addition to demos, I plan on bringing what is likely the largest assortment of hardware CNC capes for the BeagleBone ever in one place for show and tell I will have what is currently the worlds only working CRAMPS board, one of a very few K9 boards in existence, as well as several others.
Stay tuned for updates and pictures/video from the Festival!
Good luck at the event, all the best! Wish I could be there.
ReplyDeletegood luck and I hope all goes well. I just saw your video on CRAMPS running your XYZ and it sounds like you've done it on the first shot. Congrats. I think I heard you only got 3 PCBs made but thought I'd read you were going for 20. If you are still planning on a larger PCB run, I would be up for purchasing a board as I now have a new BBB on hand to mate it with. Can't wait to hear and see how the festival went.
ReplyDeleteI got the 20 boards in, give me a couple of days to recover from the Midwest RepRap Festival and I'll get a buy button added somewhere on the site. Email me direct if you're really anxious to get one.
DeleteAnxious yes but don't need special effort unless you know you're going to sell out like Comic Con tickets. Thanks and it looked like the festival was quite busy.
Delete*hint* send me a direct e-mail (charles at steinkuehler.net) mentioning the CRAMPS board
DeleteIt's going to be a while before I have any sort of "buy" button available. Send me an email and I'll see about getting you a board.
DeleteBTW, looking at "SeeMeCNC Shop Cam 1" I can see the closest/first booth is ConceptForge and I think I can see Wally printed in yellow. The HackaDay emblem is on the far back wall.
