Description: This is a combination kit that contains both the interface PC board and the Control Panel Kit for the Clough42 Lathe Electronic Leadscrew controller. The goal of the project is to replace the change gears or gearbox on a metalworking lathe with a stepper motor controlled electronically based on an encoder on the lathe spindle. The electronic controller allows setting different virtual gear ratios for feeds and threading. For more information on this project, search "Clough42 Electronic Leadscrew" on YouTube, or "clough42/electronic-leadscrew" on GitHub. This kit contains:CLOUGH42 Electronic Leadscrew (ELS) Booster Pack Interface PC BoardCLOUGH42 Electronic Leadscrew (ELS) Control Panel KitIf you purchase this combo kit, you don't need to purchase the above kits separately. Booster Pack Interface PC Board This PC board mounts on a Texas Instruments LaunchXL F280049C prototyping board and provides connections for power, an encoder, a display and keypad, and a stepper or servo driver to drive the lathe's leadscrew. NOTE: this version of the board does not include the EEPROM chip, due to lack of availability. The EEPROM was included in the original versions of the board, but was never used, so leaving it unpopulated will have no effect on functionality. Included in this package:ELS Boost v2.1 PC board assemblyPower connectorTwo (2) 2x10 female header connectorsOne (1) 5-pin right-angle headersOne (1) 6-pin servo connectorOne (1) 6-pin servo screw terminal plugThrough-hole soldering is required to attach the provided connectors to the PC board. Important: solder the power connector first; it's hard to do after the servo connector is added. To complete the project, you will also need a LaunchXL prototyping board, encoder, servo or stepper with driver, and other hardware. None of this additional hardware is included. See the documentation on GitHub and the YouTube videos for more information. Lead Free. Control Panel Kit This is the control panel kit for the Clough42 Lathe Electronic Leadscrew controller. This kit contains the front panel, display and button board and 3D printed parts for assembly. To complete the project, you will need other parts, including a Texas Instruments LaunchXL F280049C, a motor, a driver, etc. Assembly Instructions:ELS Part 19 Control Panel KitVideo will open in a new windowUsing the mobile app?
