Solid State Relay (Triac) vs. Mosfet vs. Opto Isolated Relay for Arduino, GRBL, Mach3, LinuxCNC
I thought I would explain how I control external devices like pumps and lights from my CNC machines. The applies to all Arduino base devices like GRBL, 3D printers, etc...One oghte key differences is most non Arduino based based CNC boards use a 24V outout trigger. Most 3D printers and Arduino type boards use a 5V output trigger. I prefer solid state devices like triacs and mosfets.
I say these awhile ago on Amazon and thought I would give these a shot. I did see an improvement with my banding. Below are the coupling on Amazon by Befenybay

I picked this up for a pretty good price on ebay. $300 with the EGT kit. Device is pretty cool, I like shift on the fly.

I found this engine on eBay for $160. This is by far the best engine I've seen so far. DLC coated crank and ceramic bearings. The engine is a 7 port high revving engine. I'm still trying to dial in the carb. Seems to run better on my Byron's 30 percent nitro fuel.

I saw this board on on Amazon and it made me think about the endstops on my laser cutter /engraver project. I use the TMC2209 on my large printer and love the sensorless homing and UART control. For about the cost the standalone individual TMC2209 drivers you can get a board with driver already in it ready to go.

I decided to put another MSD box back in my bronco. Part throttle seems to be much smoother. I noticed system go lean after the install. That means I'm getting a more complete burn.

I'm done with the spindle, stepper and drivers. I also installed some home switches. I still have to design and printer the rear driver and breakout board cover. I provisioned a 12V out to power a 80mm fan. Once I get this thing moving the brushless controller and drivers will get hot.

I'm sick of messing around with the GM and Chrysler IAC stepper motors. I've never been about to get them right. I've been messing with Holley and Megasquit fuel injection for 20 years. This ford 2 wire PWM IAC blows doors on the stepper type IAC.

My harbor freight ultrasonic cleaner heating element broke. I picked this up on Amazon for $89.99. I wanted something 100% stainless steel. Plastic cleaners cannot withstand solvents. I clean allot of auto parts that need solvents.
