2015/06/29 7:26 pm / 1 Comment / Bertus Kruger

I have lately been flashing a bunch of Arduino micro-controllers with GRBL and I had a small issue where an older version of GRBL’s settings were stuck in the Arduino’s EEPROM. To get around this I used a quick script from the Arduino website to clear it. I thought it would be useful for people … Read More →

Raspberry Pi CNC Board / Hat

2015/06/17 8:47 pm / Bertus Kruger / Featured

We are happy to announce the next generation of our CNC boards. By combining a real-time CNC system (good old GRBL) and offloading less timely processes to a more powerful processor + operating system we have created a much more flexible but capable solution. To show some of the possibilities we have created a Web … Read More →

ESP8266 – Testing if it works.

2015/02/17 8:56 pm / Leave a Comment / Bertus Kruger

The ESP8266 is a very cheap wifi-to-serial solution for adding Wifi to electronics projects. Once its been hooked up the fun starts. A terminal emulator like Putty or Tera Term is needed to send commands to the module. To interact with the module it needs to receive AT command via its serial pins. The simplest … Read More →

Robot of the week : Pick and Place machine

2014/07/11 8:00 am / Leave a Comment / Bertus Kruger

Brain Dorey has a nice build log about the DIY Pick and place machine he built. Pick and place machines are robotic machines which are used to place surface-mount devices. They are used a lot in the electronics industry. Some are also used for stacking and packing manufactured goods. The video below is a Pick and Place at … Read More →
