I am just starting to try to figure out BMP to raster
for the PCB EDM MILL for which I have just finished
the drive electronics,and xyz's. Because there are no
significant forces involved I have been able to use
the lightest of mechanisms.
Would be interested in your approach, the only
significant difference between our machines is that I
am essentially driving the spark generator whereas you
are driving the laser. Are you dumping the BMP file to
a separate micro or driving an interface direcly from
the PC? PC's are not my strong point, but PIC's and
Atmel are ok.
Yes, I would like to see what you have done so far,
PLEASE.
To all who are interested in the progress of the PCB
EDM MILL, I have produced a very simple clone of the
Garden of Edm circuit, modified with some hints from
Curt Richards (Curt are you still out there?).
Just got to figure out BMP to Raster scan
interpolation. If anybody else has any ideas please
say.
