Up to 10 boards can be daisy-chained over the CAN bus for up to 80 additional outputs. In previous blog (8 channel relay … Read more
In this blog, we will introduce, how we set up parameters on VFD and configure in Mach 4. In the blog before – CNC Lathe spindle motor – part 1 [setup&wiring] we presented the mechanical and electrical part of the project on how to CNC Lathe spindle motor setup and wiring electromotor and VFD. If … Read more
Isolated measurement Sometimes we would like to measure a signal with oscilloscope on a device, we are not familiar to. The reason might be that we don’t have a datasheet or a scheme available, or simply a common ground potential is not physically accessible. In such cases isolated USB oscilloscope can help. What’s more, I … Read more
