Hola Israel, lo que comentas no tiene buena pinta. Podría ser cosa de un driver defectuoso. Te recomendaría probar cada uno de ellos por separado para descartar esa opción.

Un saludo!

Hello Israel, what you are saying does not look good. It could be a faulty driver. I would recommend you to test each of them separately to discard that option.

Best regards!

¡Hola Sergio!

Vamos a ver si podemos dar con la solución 😉

¿Cuál es exáctamente el error que te sale al tratar de ejecutar el archivo asgard.py?

En cuanto al problema con las variables de entorno, he encontrado este gist que puede serte de ayuda: https://gist.github.com/roblanf/6929493

Prueba a seguir los pasos para Windows 7 y, en lugar de introducir “;C:\Python27” introduce la carpeta donde se haya instalado Python en tu PC.

Nos comentas con lo que sea!
Saludos

Hi Sergio!

Let’s see if we can find the solution 😉

What exactly is the error you get when trying to run the asgard.py file?

Regarding the problem with the environment variables, I found this gist that may help you: https://gist.github.com/roblanf/6929493

Try following the steps for Windows 7 and, instead of entering “;C:\Python27” enter the folder where Python is installed on your PC.

Let us know what you find!

Hi imernchavez!

First of all, sorry for the inconvenience. As you said, during the redesign of Thor pieces in Freecad 0.19 I missed that cutout of the Art1Body part.

I just have updated the Thor GitHub repository with the fixed FreeCAD, stl and step files corresponding to Art1Body part. If you have not printed the v1.0 version yet, it would be nice to print the new one instead of the v1.0 version.

Thanks a lot for the report! 🙂

Hello!
Yes, sorry for the confusion. The first PCB I designed for Thor project was a single-layer one, to be able to manufacture it with a DIY CNC. It was called v1.
Later I designed a 2 layer PCB for SMT components and called it v2. I don’t remember why or when I started refering to the 2 layer as v1 and the single layer as prototype. I think that is the origin of the confusion.

In short: The PCB of the ThorControlPCB repository is the latest one, the wiki of the Thor repository is outdated. The latest information and files can be found in this website 🙂

Hope it helps!

PD: I designed the PCBs using KiCAD software, following some tutorials of YouTube (I don’t remember which ones) and basing the design on the RAMPS 1.4 board.

I didn’t know that board existed, it looks promising. I don’t know anything about Klipper, but in the FYSETC-SPIDER repository there is a Marlin folder inside the firmware one, and I think that Marlin should support 7 axis movement, no?

Keep sharing your progress with us 🙂

Hello!

I just uploaded the ControlPCB project to the PCBWay platform, so you can order the PCB easy 🙂
The default manufacturing parameters should be ok, but check them with the ones I published in the “Ordering PCBs” section of the Electronics documentation.
In that section you will also find instructions in case you prefer to order it from another manufacturer.

Hope it helps!

¡Buenas!¿Te refieres al archivo .bat? ; Si es eso, la verdad es que no se ayudarte, porque yo lo ejecuto directamente utilizando el comando “python asgard.py” en la consola. He estado revisando el video de ferrete y no sé muy bien qué es lo que puede estar fallando… 🙁

Hi!
I know this reply will arrive very late, but I’ll answer it anyway just in case.First problem (motors not holding position) seems to me like the parameter $1 is not 255, as it should be. Probably the rest of the problems are about $$ parameters. Check this page of the Thor’s wiki where I posted my $$ settings so you can adjust yours!
Best regards,Angel LM

Wow! It looks impresive! Nice work!

Sorry for the late reply… better late than never ^_^U

Hi Erin!
I’m not 100% sure about the 1.1 Version, but there were some differences between grbl 0.9 and Thor’s grbl. The main one is the amount of steppers supported. If I recall correctly GRBL 0.9 supports up to 6 stepper motors and I had to tweak it to add 2 more.
Hope it helps!Angel LM

[Angel LM]

Wow Fer!
It looks very nice! Thanks for sharing! If you don’t mind I’m gonna add it to the Thor’s Readme so anyone can find it! 🙂

Hi Erin,
Sorry for the late reply! Each stepper driver has 3 legs named “MS1”, “MS2” and “MS3”. Each of those legs is conected to a pin in the ControlPCB. Jumpers connect “MS” legs to “HIGH” level signal (5V). So, having the 3 jumpers connected means to have a 1/16th configuration (this image ilustrates all the possible configurations). My recommendation is to connect all pins to get a 1/16th configuration, but if you want a different one you have to put the jumpers and modify grbl according to the new configuration.
Hope it helps!Angel LM

¡Hola!
Ha pasado ya algún tiempo desde esta pregunta, pero la contesto por si acaso no lo has solucionado todavía.Yo coloqué la seta de emergencia cortando los cables de alimentación de la PCB. Ten en cuenta que si le quitas la alimentación al robot por completo, los motores perderán su fuerza y el robot se desplomará al no tener ningún tipo de anclaje pasivo.
Un saludo,Angel LM

¡Hola!
Comparte por favor qué pasos has seguido hasta ahora para poder ayudarte mejor. ¿Instalaste python? ¿Te salta algún error al intentar ejecutarlo?
¡Un saludo!Angel LM

Hi Boluwarin,
I’m sorry but I don’t understand the question… Do you want to know what’s the minimum amps that you need to move all motors, how the PCB was designed or how the processor manage the motors?
Best regards!Ángel
