Me now... 10 Years older... looking at me then going up a hill.... man... I wish I could still do that.

this is wonderful, jerr! i am continually amazed at the magic you possess. and, i love the song, as it’s the perfect accompaniment thank you for sharing♥️

How exciting, Jerry! You set up this story really well, too. (If I'd been there, I'd have been the oldest.) ❤

I love it!

Great Video Jerry...loved it.

This is awesome

Nice!

You also need to be careful with those breadboards. Breadboards are made for low voltage and low current uses, not for things like stepper motor drivers. Breadboards have a low current rating (apparently 500 mA to 1 A but that depends heavily on breadboard and wire quality) and I would recommend not going anywhere near that limit. If you just have a bad connection or run the current too high for too long it can melt the board and that can lead to more things getting shorted as the metal strips are only separated by plastic. Breadboards just aren’t made for running motors on them. They also have a lot of capacitance and inductance compared to other options. I would suggest you buy yourself some strip or perf board and use that instead. Another option is to buy an arduino CNC shield, you don’t need to use it with an arduino and it breaks out the step and direction pins so you can just connect those to your driver board but it has adequately sized traces for the power supply and has a fuse. You could use multiple of the CNC shields with no issues if you need more than four stepper motor drivers. Or you could just buy a 3D printer mainboard and connect that through USB or serial or write your own firmware for it.

IK is not “Interactive Kinetics”, it is “Inverse Kinematics”. “Forward Kinematics” is when you use the joint angles and lengths to calculate the position of the end effector, “Inverse Kinematics” is the opposite where you take the required position of the end effector and use that to calculate the required joint angles.

Cool! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

can't wait to see how it turns out.

You didn't do the live stream anymore

Just started

i like the option to look around your room. i don't think i have seen that anywhere else. now i can case the place. i just have to figure out where you live. just kidding jer. thanks for the lesson.

Is that you, haha you're so good, I really need to go Learn how to swim

Thanks for the video. I just inherited one of these. It's in a million pieces and had never seen one. Gonna take some time to get familiar with everything.

😆😆

Society at work, keeping you safer than letting you sleep until it's too late. Have a great day!

So sorry for you all… nice wake up call 😂

Hi, Jerry, you did a great work on the linuxCNC tutorials. I have just folow-up your tutorial on Laser add-on on LinuxCNC. I have even read your posts on LinuxCNC forum. Every thing is just set up and working. But now I need to finish the last step which is to set up post-processor properly. I mean to get the right Gcodes for LinuxCNC. You meantion test Gcode file called: "elizabeth-hurle.ngc". Can you please send me this test file in order to understand the Gcode structure for Laser add-on and set up post-processor properly. Thank you very much in advance. Your work is gold on the internet. You make the DIY CNC community so much stronger. Realy big thank for your work. Keep it up. :)

Thank you for the help!

Jeeze this was the best explanation on how opt-isolators works and everything about MESA cards for beginners on youtube. Thanks! Would like the PDF/Spreadsheet.

Great Video!!! It's been a while since I have seen a LinuxCNC from you (welcome back).

🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾

Sun will ruin that thing

Bro got the quest one in a parking garage

😂😂 in parking lot!? You should run and hide then people walk by seeing her doing that 😂 then she pull goggles off and go 😳

Man I miss that day!! So happy we got video for good memories 🙌🏼

Whaaa! I just saw this aw man you are the man! ❤thanks for the clip! 😊

Good times in Vacaville, made my day!

Wow video game joystick!? Haha I never thought about that… you nailed it! 👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

My shop vac makes so much noise that it doesn't matter. The price is the reason to go with a router. Also, when water is involved, i think of leeks.

That is awesome .

Like all the minute details you go into, especially the safety part thank you

Thats not a machinst vise. Just FYI

Damnit, can barely hear your voice. Damnit !

Barely 30 seconds in the video, I see a damn ad. Come on !!!!!!!

Is it 7i76 or 7176? Fabulous video !!! May God bless you.

Thanks Jerry! Six years later and this video is still helping me.

Turning the speed control without the motor running Does not damage the belt, it damages the control mechanism if your giving a tutorial please get it right

Like the lights on the sensors. Helps with setup. I used to do a lot with reed switches and having to listen for the "tink" of them closing.

Mesa Card?

Congratulations 🎉

Whoa big difference!

Good to see youn got someone to do that for you .

thank you i love the series helps me at work with a small project

I think I should build a voice assistant like this..with the esp8366 via Wi-Fi

My only issue with this video is the implication that all spindles are water-cooled. A lot of your nice spindles are water cooled, but a lot of the cheaper hobbyist ones can also be air cooled. This video implies that all spindles are water cooled... Edit: My above comment is moot. Read video description and comments below.

I am happy for you got a good one now . Glad to see it working.
