At one point a few weeks back I was asked to make a diagram of the wiring for my machine control box that I built for my X-carve, it uses the Solid State Relay from Inventables and parts from Home Depot, I use the X-controller to actuate the relay and control my spindle and “Small” shop vac automatically with the X-controller. My cabinet can be disabled with a single Mains switch. I also have a circuit for lighting using a standard 12v AC/DC adapter that I removed from its casing and hard wired into a toggle switch , this can be used for lighting or any other low voltage accessories, The Spindle toggle switch allows for manual override and “off” control of the spindle which I think is a great safety feature. “PLEASE EXCUSE THE CRUDE DRAWING I DID IT IN 10 MINUTES” if anyone has questions just ask.
I ordered an x carve just waiting and trying to find out about it before it comes but any way does any one know how much dust the x carve make with the dewalt 611
The tranformer will always be energized though if you don’t put a main power on the high voltage … that’s the only reason I did it I don’t like leaving that transformer energized I made sure to use a quality toggle switch.
Yea the only Dc On mine is the D.C. Coming from controller to turn on the relay for the spindle , and the 12v D.C. Coming from the small transformer for led lighting.
I’d like to use my IoT Relay to automagically control the spindle and vacuum power, but retain another switch to turn on the vacuum only so I can cleanup the crumbs afterward.
Ohh ok so just add another step down transformer powered by the main power switch.
I considered that but I would have needed a bigger box and a fan maybe I would like din rail mount components but I like the “kiss” method of engineering.
Phil, I think it would be a good idea to put a diode on the + leg of the coolant enable input to prevent 24 VDC from appearing on that terminal when using dual enable mode and manual override.
To put the pieces together… 1/2 day to some and several days for others. Getting it square is another question. I was able to put mine together in less than 8 hours.
and no code issues or danger.
