Check out the new Make volume 09 at your local bookstore such as Barnes and Noble or Tower Records. Our Ad in on p.5. Make Magazine has lots of fun DIYs and stuff you can MAKE. Check out their blog too if you haven’t yet.
Here’s a fun Golf POV (Persistence of Vision) application you can make
and learn about LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) and basics of electronic
circuits. The CUBLOC CB220 and CB220 Proto-Board is used in this
example.
As you can see in the above pictures, a simple golf swing
can produce desired letters or images. You can modify this app to
work on a tennis racket, motorized POV, or anything that moves faster
than the eye can see.
We have been messing around with some Mach CNC software which developers can make control their CNC machines using the software. There is a Modbus protocol support on the Mach CNC software so some of the users of the Mach software have been requesting some information regarding IO expansion using CUBLOC and it’s Modbus support.
The simple answer is yes, we just finished a basic testing with Mach3 CNC software and it works fine. Directions are at the forum.
Now I hear that they also have CNC stepper motor drivers which should be able to be controlled using CUBLOC and CuTOUCH. That will be our next step in this integration of an industrial CNC software/driver and Comfile products.
The CB280 uses Ladder Logic to control the complex fuzzy logic of
the perm machine hair dings (The things you roll your hair with).
This thing also has an XPORT module which allows the company to
analyze and fix customer’s problems over the internet on top of
updatable firmwares.
The company grew 10 times in size and moved their offices twice
due to massive growth of sales. They are now bigger than Comfile
Technology… :p
The above example uses a customized firmware version of MAXport,
