PM-833TV arrived last Monday. Ordered a MESA 7i76E, servos & drives and ballscrews + brackets from Bruce Nelson at Heavy Metal CNC today. Just finished getting LinuxCNC installed on an Intel NUC. Following Dr. David Florian’s project instructions from YouTube. Will keep you posted. Will be my first project like this.
 
Clarification: I ordered the servos and drives from DMM not Heavy Metal
 
Look forward to a comprehensive build thread with lots of pictures, including NUC installs, and electronics deep dive ;) (hint, hint)

Will enjoy watching!
 
Well the NUC software install is done already. I just downloaded LinuxCNC ISO and burned it onto a flash drive with Rufus then plugged the flash drive into the NUC and turned on the power. Then I walked through the advanced setup. I guess I could write up something on that. It's easy enough I can do it again.
 
Do you have any links available for the equipment you ordered? I have the same machine and am interested in your progress very much.
 
quite a bit of it, yes... working on getting everything wired up for bench test. Let me see what I can put together for you.
 
I had a NUC that work was going to throw away, so I used it for linuxcnc install
I'm not 100% confident that using servos as step and direction replacements for stepper motors is the best way to drive a mill, but it should work fine. Worst case scenario, I get a different card from MESA and drive them that way. Then again, it may actually be the best way. I'm pretty sure David Florian went that route because he was upgrading from steppers and it was drop-in that way. Since this is my first attempt, I'm going with a known functional solution.

Below is what I ordered from Automation Direct
Primary Circuit Breaker https://www.automationdirect.com/ad...rs_(gmcbu_series)/3-pole_(1a-63a)/gmcbu-3b-40

Here's stuff I got from Digi-Key
1A line filters x 3 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/schurter-inc/FPBB-U3RI-0190/8605106
10A line filters x 2 https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/schurter-inc/FPBB-V3RI-1090-VD/8605117 (note this part needs fuses so I probably ordered the wrong one. Likely should have gotten the U3RI instead)
16A line filter https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/schurter-inc/FPBB-U3RI-1690/8605111

Here's some of the stuff I got for wiring up the controls from Amazon

These work, but are less than ideal ways to connect to the DMM Dyn-4 drives as the nuts interfere with each other. There's probably a better solution out there, but they work: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B073RG3GG6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

This has been a GREAT purchase for electrical hookups https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08J7M8X49?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

Thanks this is what I was looking for!
 
I'm picking up my 833 early next week, so if you could just hurry up and finish..... :) I am thinking of going the same route, except with centroid instead of mesa; have you received the parts from heavy metal yet? I guess I need to call or email Bruce, I am leaning towards his kit, but it looks like it is just using singular ball bearings, perhaps I am wrong and they are angular contact or something?
