Has anyone been able to get macros to work on the FluidDial with Webui v3? I have tried several different ways of creating the macros in the webui and none of them work on the FluidDial. I’ve tried the gcode method and the macro.g file method. They all say ‘Empty file’ when I select them.
I just posted a comment about this over in my LR3 build thread. A keystone jack on your case would be awesome, but it’s perfectly usable as is for me at the moment.
I’m a bit late to the party here, but I’d go with M12 connectors for this. They are available in solder cup or field-wireable screw terminal connections, and are very common in industrial settings - so they can be pretty inexpensive from the right vendors.
They come in keyed varieties, push-pull or threaded couplings, and bulkhead mount or straight through or right angle bodies. All of the non-atex temperature and pressure transmitters use them in our facility. I think we pay about $6/ea (in freedom dollars) for straight through bodied connectors with 10m long pigtails when buying smallish quantities.
With the screw terminal connection ones, no special crimping or other assembly tools are required. I think the last time I bought a handful of the screw-terminal ones on ali for personal projects, they were under $2 each.
5-pin M12 with straight body example:
Those are certainly an option, but with the release of Bart’s RJ12 kit, I’ve now converted all my pendants over to use his kits.
I am going to stay with the RJ12 wiring scheme that they are using.
I’ll also be using that same wiring scheme for the mod I’m working on to try and use both a FluidDial pendant and an isolated RS-485 spindle controller.
Here’s an example of one of my converted pendants:
Man I can’t wait to test this out!! Blows my mind that you can look at all of that and figure out how to make it work. Definitely above my pay grade lol! Thank you so much for taking that project on!!!
