OpenPnP

OpenPnP is a project to design, build and foster an Open Source SMT pick and place machine anyone can build for under $1000.

@errantambition There are no docs for the board format, but it's just a straight serialization of the backing Java classes. Here are the API docs for the class: https://t.co/dbs5qczNo4 and here is an example: https://t.co/eE9GlV2ezh. The properties of the class map directly to the XML.

@encthenet @letsencrypt Thanks for the heads up. I'll get it sorted.

@lixielabs You can set a max part speed on individual parts, but it gets applied as a modifier anytime that part is on the nozzle, so the rise from pick, the move to place, and the lower to place will all be at that speed. No way to separate currently but I think that'd be a good addition.

@silverbladecomp Maybe try again? There are four text channels: general, builds, development, and github.

@SkippyUK Woops! Thanks for letting me know. Here's a permanent one: https://t.co/FLwJIqpKfG

Visual Training is a new OpenPnP feature currently in development. It will help train tricky placements by letting you see exactly where and how the part will land. https://t.co/DemoZXGPqR

[OpenPnP @openpnp]

Playing around with package editor ideas. Planning to upgrade OpenPnP's visualization and vision soon.

@_MG_ We have an active, helpful, and friendly community at https://t.co/iHYNvTJN4Q. Happy to answer your questions there!

@GregDavill @pakakezu It looks like a 12 byte frame to me, but another person working on this noted that it seems to send in bursts of 72 bytes

[OpenPnP @openpnp]

@pakakezu @GregDavill Very helpful, thank you! Has the UART framing already been removed from these bytes, or is this a raw bitstream?

[OpenPnP @openpnp]

@pakakezu @GregDavill Thank you for posting these! How many feeders were hooked up during these dumps? And were any of them new? (i.e. ID 53)?

[OpenPnP @openpnp]

@GregDavill Hey Greg, have a look at this thread if you haven't already: https://t.co/ztBihzGxRq

Lots of folks interested in this, and all sort of in the same boat. I know of two people with machines, so waiting for dumps.

Great article by Mark Harris talks about OpenPnP and other in-house manufacturing opportunities: https://t.co/K7f0gOac8z

Do you like pick and place machines ? This one runs the awesome OpenPNP Open-Source software, and a Smoothieboard : https://t.co/WWqfrLB1sf

@GregDavill Great progress! Looking forward to seeing the first placements! :)

Mostly 3D printed pick and place. Now onto the addition of feeders. @openpnp @vonnieda driven by an @Raspberry_Pi and a #slushengine
