We present a giant upgrade for PoRelay8 devices, which unlocks the true potential of PoRelay8 devices. We managed to implement the support for PoBlocks in our PoRelay8 devices. We are not talking about setting the PoRelay8 outputs via PoKeys and PoBlocks, via Raspberry Pi or Arduino, but about presenting a true programmable logic controller built … Read more

Cyclone dust collector for CNC router In our workshop, we develop and manufacture different types of products and materials for our needs or customers. Many times we have had … Read more
A blog article about a flat cable cutter project from the scratch. From the idea to the useful production machine. Machine was build using a PoKeys57U device from CNC Controllers series and stepper motor driver-complete explanation. Two great products from PoLabs. What to watch out for when choosing a flat cable cutter? On market is … Read more
Here is a practical example of Arduino driving relay boards PoRelay8. PoRelay8 board with 8 relay outputs can be connected to any Arduino device if it can communicate via the I2C protocol. If 8 relay outputs do not satisfy your demands, additional up to 9 PoRelay8 boards can be daisy-chained over CAN bus, even with … Read more
In this blog, we will describe, how we upgrade our CNC milling/router machine with a new 4th axis for the CNC machine and get more functionality, how to set up, wiring components, and Configuration in Mach4. New upgrade in a machine shop with the intention to improve our support even additionally and also for making … Read more
PoStepVID6606 is a new product in our series of stepper motor drivers. 8-channel miniature stepper motor driver based on VID6606 integrated circuit. The device is a perfect choice for making a flight simulator where several instruments are included on the control panel. The device is suitable for use with PoKeys, but also without restrictions on … Read more
In this blog we will describe Raspberry Pi with relay module. Example how to use a PoRelay8 module board. CAN relay board PoRelay8 features 8 relay outputs configured over I2C bus. Up to 10 boards can be daisy-chained over the CAN bus for up to 80 additional outputs. In previous blog (8 channel relay module … 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
