Machine Design

We have decided to use Gestalt node for controlling MTM module.

We have ordered bare PCBs of Gestalt node and they were required to be soldered



Next task was to program the Gestalt board. We did it using Arduino UNO for same.


We faced a problem while programming the related to setting the fuse.


This issue was resolved by adding following line in Makefile. Not setting fuse was the cause of error


We used Fabnet to connect Gestalt node with computer using FTDI cable


Below figure shows Gestalt node and other peripherals interconnection details


Mounting 4 Gestalt node for controlling 4 Stepper motors


Intergrating Gestalt node with machine design last week


Machine was successfully programmed to write/draw an paper.
