Head Development Kit
This repository contains various resources for the development of add-on heads for the FABtotum. For general pointers on custom heads development, see: http://www.fabtotum.com/head-development-guidelines.
WARNING: Firmware support for custom add-ons is not yet stable, therefore actual implementation may change with respect to these information without notice. If you get stuck on something not working do post an issue to let us know, or file a pull-request if you have a possible fix.
Checklist
- Get the complete Head Development Kit
- Print the simple HDB support
- Get inspired by example sketches
- Learn from the detailed documentation
Some more detail
HDB simple support
You can self-print and make use of this barebone support for the HDB to hack on your custom heads: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1832391
Source CAD models are available inside HDB Support, in Autodesk Inventor (.ipt) and STEP (.stp) formats.
Sketches
The Sketches folder contains Arduino sketches that can be run on a Arduino Nano or similar development board mounted on the FABtotum Personal Fabricator through a HDB.
All sketches are tested to work with FAB-UI/Colibri and a recent version of FABlin (version 1.1.0 or later). You can compile it yourself from the sources or pick one of the released hex images.
Sketches available:
- Dimmer: A simple example that shows how to command led luminosity on an Arduino Nano mounted on the head slot through the HDB.
- Tester: A more complete example that let you interactively debug IO and communication on the HDB (beware of 24Vdc lines though ;) With this sketch you'll be able to dynamically set IO pins' modes and levels. It is also able to setup a serial interface or a Two Wire interface.
