OpenPNP: Actuator based Pick+Place, Contact Probing Nozzle

As part of the general overhaul of Version 2.0 of OpenPNP and as the basis for a new ContactProbeNozzle, the vacuum pump, valve and picking and placing have been reworked into a unified Actuator based design.

See the Pull Request (Merged into OpenPnP 2.0): Feature/Actuator based Pick+Place, Contact Probing Nozzle and independant Valve Switching #859
Read the OpenPnP Wiki about the ContactProbeNozzle.

Hi Mark,

first of all my respect for all your work – impressively. I read this post with your controller recommendation

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/openpnp/nPQ0-k0P6ec

I have a LitePlacer and like to switch the controller as you did. May you support me with this “detailed configuration templates for setup the controller” as well? I’m stuck also with the order of all the options of the recommended “Azteeg X5 GT 32bit Motion Controller with the Bigfoot BSD2660 – Based on TMC2660 stepper drivers”

I would be very pleased to receive your answer

Chris

  Hi Chris
  
  Don’t know if you saw it, but I posted my configuration in this post:
  https://groups.google.com/d/msg/openpnp/nPQ0-k0P6ec/HnMynH1tCAAJ
  and if you read the conversation before and after this post, you’ll get some additional info.
  
  But I went to
  https://www.panucatt.com/azteeg_X5_GT_reprap_3d_printer_controller_p/ax5gt.htm
  and it seems the BSD2660 is no longer listed. If this is permanent, then my config will be useless. :-(
  
  Unfortunately it is hard to contact Panucatt. I’ll try.
