I’ve been working on getting my little robot arm running with LinuxCNC, an open-source CNC machine control software. It's been a tough challenge, but I’ve made a big step forward:
✅ LinuxCNC can now talk to the robot arm’s controller and tell it where to move.
✅ As long as a CAN bus link is set up, any computer can run this arm using LinuxCNC.
Still on the to-do list:
- 🛠️ Fixing some jittering issues
- 🔍 Getting sensor detection working
Once that’s sorted, I’m planning to build a teaching pendant for easier control, really looking forward to that project!
Meanwhile, on the business side:
I’ve started posting 3D printing tips & content on LinkedIn to connect with companies that need 3D printing services.
Hopefully I can bring some people into the Skool community too, we’ll see how that goes!
