Re: 3D Printer Help

is there another way, i am looking for the simplisity of the jaguar. Built in PID for position control, limit switch's input, encoder input, preferaby RS232 able. Scott McMahon a TI employee that knows Stellaris projects replied to me with this

Quote:
It is probably outside of the scope of your project, but the Jaguar's goal in life was two fold. One, to make FIRST projects easier by providing a platform that could do some of the control tasks internally (call the built in high-speed PID functions rather than writing them). Two, to serve as an educational tool for creating a similar device. If you have the ability (time, etc) to spin your own, Jaguar's schematics and software could be leveraged. Replace the HBrige and modify hbridge.c to match. I realize that is a tall order, but something to consider if time and resources permit.
does anyone have the knowlage to work this that is willing to teach someone wanting to learn. or can someone point me to reasorces to learn how to do this.
