Have been busy with work. Hopefully in about 4-5 weeks will get some time.
Changed the stepper motor drivers to TMC5160-bob. These make driving the stepper motors really easy using python.
Currently using this code to drive them: python TMC5160 stepper driver
Originally bought the TMC5160 step sticks from Bigtreetech. After weeks of messing around, realise the motion controller is not available with these. That was the most important part of what I wanted.
Currently using the Atlas pH interface, Not a big fan of it. So staring to write a python module for the Reef-Pi pH probe interface.
Once finished the steppers and pH test unit will be separate pieces, similar to the Pac-sun KH lab.
Hopefully the changes will make the software much less convoluted, and easy for anyone to make changes.
Cheers
Chris
