Week 7¶
Credits to ChatGPT for generating the definitions. I have used the prompt Generate the defination of *your word* to generate all the definations. To generate some explantions for the softwares, I have used the prompt Can you explain further on *the name of your software*.
Vocabulary¶
Plunge rate – The speed at which the milling tool moves downward into the material.
Soldering – The process of joining electronic components using a molten filler metal (solder).
Filler metal – A material used in soldering or welding to bond two surfaces together.
Electromagnet – A type of magnet that is powered by an electric current and can be turned on or off.
Relay module – An electronic switch that allows low-voltage signals to control high-power devices.
Input pull-up resistor – A built-in resistor in microcontrollers that ensures a stable “HIGH” signal when no input is detected.
Debugging – The process of identifying and resolving issues in software or hardware.
VPanel for SRM¶
VPanel for SRM-20 is the control software used to operate the Roland SRM-20 milling machine. It allows you to:
-
Manually control the machine – Move the spindle (cutting tool) along the X, Y, and Z axes.
-
Set the origin (zero point) – Define the starting position for milling.
-
Load and send toolpaths – Import RML files (toolpath files) and start the milling process.
-
Adjust spindle speed and cutting parameters – Control the rotation speed of the milling bit.
-
Monitor job progress – Track the milling process in real-time.
