There are many ways to go about building a name and identity for a compelling product
or service.
If resources are limited, however, achieving visibility and making an impact can be challenging.
If your priorities include both creating a recognizable message and staying within budget,
you might want to stick with the these five tips for building a great brand without breaking
the bank.
1.
Start with a Value Proposition
The first step of budget-friendly brand building is understanding your Value Proposition before
designing anything.
Before you delve into the branding process, it's very important that you can clearly
define the following elements:
What you do Why you do it
Who's it for and What the benefits are
From this, a designed identity and other visuals will be more appropriate and easier to create.
2.
Get an idea of where you want to be visually
Use sites like Pinterest to fuel ideas and do your research to nail down the general
vibe you want to project.
You are likely to need a professional designer to complete your project, but by finding examples
and understanding what works and what doesn't, you'll help speed up the process and hence
reduce costs.
3.
Put a lot of effort into market research
If you're working with a tight budget, it's important to get most things right on your
first try, so that there aren't many expensive do-overs and fixes.
This means that all your efforts need to be based on thorough research and preferably
tangible data, which maximizes your chances of achieving the desired results right off
the bat.
4.
Make the most of free online resources
Make use of the free internet, especially social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram,
which allow you to get online and start talking with your audience.
Open up a channel of communication with you potential customers and figure out what the
right way to approach them is.
Use these free sites to test out ideas and learn quickly to create a stronger brand.
Experiment with different approaches and try to discern which channels provide you with
the best results.
5.
Keep close track of everything
Whether it's roadmaps, product plans or detailed marketing strategies, the key to
staying within budget is to stay on top of all the resources you're allocating.
A game plan you decide on in advance and then do your best to stick to is what's going
to keep you focused on the most important tasks and give you a schedule to abide by.
Getting the most bang for your buck entails knowing what, when and how you're going
to do things.
A solid game-plan will keep misunderstandings and glitches in communication to a minimum,
which will in turn, keep the costs of the entire process down.
And there you have it!

Building a New Work Bench for the Wood Shop Part 10 - Duration: 16:26.
Hello and welcome to Donald Vlogsifys Wood Shop. I'm your host Donald Vlogsifys; also known as Donald Matthews in reality.
Back to the bench! We gonna get started on the apron.
I've got my legs ready.
We're gonna cut this apron to length and...
start working on recesses. Maybe do a little bit of planning before. It depends on how things look.
Has a little bit of curve to it when I lay it up flat against this. So I'm gonna plane it down some. Yup.. yup.. yup
Okay one end...
isn't quite square or uneven as opposed to the other end.
So we're gonna square it up. I got it marked. I just got to finish bringing or running a line across.
And cut it.
Now this board has come up a little bit long.
So what I'm gonna do.....
I got three inches marked.
Got three inches marked here. I'm going to turn this up on the side and kind of even things up here.
And... mark this three inches.
Now I'm gonna cut some wedges.
Now I've seeing as how this is a two by four...
Which is going match up with the top part here. All I got to do....
For this wedge is mark up under here. This board is square. I checked it before I started videoing.
Do that.
And there's gonna be one inch
This is gonna be the inch and a half.
Vrrrroooooommm.... Actioncam yeah, okay. Then we'll take this piece
Line it up there.
Now I'm going to do the same thing, I just did here with the wedges and mark the other side of the apron.
Or the other piece of apron. Whatever you want to call it.
So I'll be back when I'm done doin' dat. ummmm mm-hmm
Now I'm going to establish a knife wall and then start hacking this stuff out with a chisel.
Fun Fun Fun!!
Ohhhh Boy, oh joy
Yeah, actually it is. Especially if you're upset or angry. It works out your frustrations.
One down four more to go
Alrighty, then this project is already starting to run a little bit long.
So I'm gonna continue it in another video. ummm...
Because I got a lot more stuff...
to put into it.
And that would make this video dang near a hour long.
So we're just..
gonna continue it in another video.
Thank you for watching.
I'll come back on the next video hope hopefully... well dey aint gonna be no hopefully.
In the next video, I'm gonna be putting the apron on the legs and then the workbench
together
This is the plan. I will stick to this plan. This project is just turning out to take a little bit longer than I anticipated.
Which is the way with most of my projects, but this being a larger project, It's taking a bigger chunk of time.
Yeah, make sense to me. Thank you for watching

Jim Rohn: Build A Strong Mindset ( Jim Rohn Inspiration ) - Duration: 33:47.
Now let me give you a little simple formula for goal-setting okay we take
two two-and-a-half hours on the weekend for the whole ten-year plan we don't
have time for that tonight but let me get you started with a little simple
formula mr. shelf gave me and maybe this will be helpful first of all I've
divided goals into two parts first is long range long range goals that's your
dreams your dreams for the next 3 5 10 20 30 40 years actually the rest of your
life your dreams you've got to keep dreaming Ronald Reagan presidents said
to the joint session of Congress a few weeks ago the Republic is a dream and if
we don't keep dreaming we will lose the Republic your better future is a dream
for your
you
they say you some kind of a nut you must be weird
hey I found out what success is success is doing what the failures won't do make
sure you've got your economics well-planned it'll put you in the top 5%
one of the key little subjects we talk about on the weekend is the 7
fundamentals for wealth and happiness and that's one of them well-planned
economics it's a fundamental if you want to do well join the top 5% anybody in
this room can join the top 5% if you will now here's the second category of
goals things make a list of the things you want and on my list of things now I
put everything little things as well as major things it doesn't matter how small
it is it goes on my list I used to just put major things cars homes I don't do
that anymore I now load my list with everything everything and the reason is
part of the fun of having a list is checking it off that's it boy at the end
of the day if you can go got it got it got it got it got it got it whatever it
is right you get into the habit so load up your list the things you want now
when you check off something major
you
live it up have a party when you reach something you've worked for for a while
see we all grow from two experiences one is called the pain of losing the other
one is called the job
you
plain hard work I don't want to kid you he haven't come here tonight to kid each
other it's work I know it's work that's why a lot of people just let it slide
it's work many people work hard on their job but they don't work hard on their
future they just let that slide and the work involved is making plans I know
most people don't I understand that but don't let that be you guy says well yeah
you work for I work but the time you struggle home it's late you've got to
you to buy the stuff for watch a little TV get to bed you can't sit up half the
night plan plan plan and the guys be good worker hard worker sincere but
you've got to be better than sincere working hard you got to be better than a
good worker you got to be a good planner
somebody once wisely said the people who fail to plan are planning to fail well
sit so work on your goals here's step 2 write your goals down that's so
important I teach my staff around the world
put your goals in your journal because one of the major people you want to
study is yourself
so here's the list of goals I put together three weeks ago here's the list
of goals I put together two years ago here's some of the changes I made
rearrange me of my priorities I scratched these off I put these on I've
gotten these study your accomplishments study what your desires are put them on
paper write them down here's another reason for writing your goals down it
shows you're serious about doing better and to do better you gotta get serious
you don't have to be grim but you must be serious everybody hopes things will
get better everybody hopes poor people hope that ought to tell you something it
means the future does not get better by hope it gets better by plan
I used to have the affliction called passive hope it's an affliction it's bad
probably what's even worse than that is happy hope now that is really bad that's
bad happy hope
the guy's 50 and he's broke and he still smile see that's not good
so get serious about your goals put him on paper write him down there's all
kinds his goals her goals their goals business goals financial goals financial
independence goals family goals I mean there's so many things to work on on
this but if you don't get busy and work on it sure enough the time will pass and
sure enough five years from now you'll wind up where you don't want to be where
and what you don't want to we're driving what you don't want to drive being what
you don't want to be now is the time to fix it now here's the third step to your
goals check the size of your goals and the kinds of goals how big they are what
kind they are affects you and here's one of the important phrases of the evening
your goals are affecting you whatever they are your goals affect your
handshake your goals affect your attitude personality your goals affect
the way you walk the way you talk the way you dress all day long we're being
affected by our goals now some people have goals but they have such lousy gold
the effect is bad I asked a guy one time
what are your goals for this month the guy said look if I could just scrape up
enough money to pay these lousy bills that was these cool I'm not saying it
isn't the goal it's a goal but it's such a lousy goal the effect is bad you don't
jump out of bed on Monday morning and say oh boy another chance to go out and
scrape up the money to pay my lousy bills so you don't do that usually you
say oh not another Monday
and some people have so given up on life they have joined the thank God it's
Friday club how sad surely those are the same people when
life is over for them we'll say thank God it's oh but I think that's good
advice don't be a follower be a student right take advice but not orders take
information but don't let somebody you know order your life make sure what you
do is the product of your own conclusion excellent note to me make sure what you
do is the product of your own conclusion not to do what someone else says take
what someone else says process it and think about it ponder it if it makes you
wonder it makes you think then it's valuable then when you go take action
make sure that the action is not what somebody told you to do make sure the
action is the product of your own conclusion if you'll follow just a
little bit of those simple guidelines telling you the learning process can be
speedy swift powerful your learning curve can go up and then applying it to
your business your life your family conversations equities of all kinds
you'll find some progress like I did that first five years when I met a
teacher willing to share with me turn my life around progress I couldn't believe
happened for me okay let's get started I want to review I was
here last time and we talked about the five major pieces to the life puzzle and
I just want to review those because it lays such a good foundation for all the
rest that I want to share with you today we got a lot of subjects to cover so
we're gonna go rather swiftly okay put on your mental track shoes here and run
with me today because I'm going to deal mostly in concepts expect you to you
know fill in a lot of the details because I got a lot to share I want to
get through it all but let's lay this foundation again of
the five major pieces happens to be the title of my latest book but I think it
is so valuable in laying a foundation that some of the things I learned
between ages 25 and 30 the teacher who taught me taught me so well he dealt in
these fundamentals we call these fundamentals we call these basics basics
for sports fundamentals for sports fundamentals for your business
fundamentals for the way you deal with your family a few simple things a few
basic things that if you practice every day can make all the difference in the
world how it works out I've boiled it down to five major pieces
to the life puzzle let's just review those number one is philosophy
philosophy philosophy as I taught the last time I was here philosophy in my
personal opinion is the major determining factor in how your life
works out philosophy the major determining factor in how your life
works out philosophy to form our philosophy you got to think got to use
your mind got a process ideas and this whole process over a lifetime starting
way back here when we were children schools that we've attended our parents
our experiences all this stuff that we've processed by the thinking process
helps to develop our philosophy and in my opinion each person's personal
philosophy is the major factor in how your life works out here's what I called
it in that last presentation when I was here it's called the set of the sale
each person's personal philosophy is like the set of the sale
now I used to think of a circumstances that ordered my life if someone would
have asked me at age 25 mr. Owen how come you're not doing well pennies in
your pocket creditors calling nothing in the bank behind on your promises to your
family you live in America 25 years old got a beautiful family
every reason to do well and things are not going that well for you what is
wrong here it would not have occurred to me to blame my philosophy I mean it
would not have occurred to me say well I got this lousy philosophy and that's how
come I got pennies in my pocket and nothing in the bank things aren't
working well that would not have occurred to me I found it much easier to
blame the government much easier to blame the tax problem I used to say
taxes are too high top tax rate when I first started paying taxes ninety-one
percent back then when your income reached a certain level all your income
over that ninety-one percent so I used to say that's too high now the tax top
tax rates about 33 percent but people are still saying what taxes are to see
but you can't use that anymore if it's gone from 91 to 33 how could it be too
high come on I threw all that old excuse
stuff away some people found it though there
my old list I used to blame the traffic the weather used to blame circumstances
all right keep us f22 tall I'm too short I'm too
old I was raised in obscurity raised on the farm parents of modest means all the
stop if you would ask me how come you find yourself here but grown age 25
living in America land of abundance and opportunity pennies zero in the bank not
doing well creditors calling it would not have occurred to me to blame my
philosophy I found it easier to blame the company company policy I used to say
if this is all they pay how do they expect you to do well so I figured that
you know my future was going to be tied to what everybody else was arranging the
economy and right interest rates I used to say things cost too much that was my
whole explanation not my philosophy until my teacher taught me better that
this is where the problem was my own personal philosophy here's what's
exciting about each person's personal philosophy that's what makes us
different than dogs and animals birds and cats and spiders and alligators
that's what makes us different than all of the life-forms the ability to think
the ability to use your mind the ability to process ideas and not just operate by
instinct
in the winter I'm telling you the goose can only fly south what if South doesn't
look too good tough luck it can only fly south but see
human beings are not like a goose can only fly south I mean you could turn
around go north you can go east you can go west you can order the entire
process of your own life and we do that by the way we think we do that by
exercising our mind we do that by processing ideas and come up with a
better philosophy a better strategy for our life goals for the future okay plans
to achieve those goals all this comes from developing our
philosophy philosophy helps us to process what's available well when we
get here we got seed and we got soil and we got some rain and we've got somewhat
sunshine and we've got some seasons and what the miracle of life now the key is
what do you do with all this stuff how do you turn all this stuff that's
available here into equity and promise and lifestyle and dreams and future
possibilities all of this that's possible now as human beings how do you
take all this stuff and turn it into this equities values
you don't need bitter seed and soil in fact when it comes to seed and soil and
rain and sunshine and seasons in the miracle of life that's all you got
now what if you blame this stuff then you're blaming all you got if you blame
the economy and you're playing the schools and you blame the teachers and
you blame the sermons and the preachers and and you blame you know the
marketplace you blame the company and company policy what else is there when
some people get through with their blame list there is nothing else that's all
there is and if you blame the only thing you've got to work with I'm telling you
it's called mistake colossal in not understanding that that's all you've got
to work with and if this is all you've got to work with then you don't change
the seed and you don't change the soil and you don't change the rain and you
don't change the sunshine you don't change the seasons right guy says I'll
take three Springs four summers nine Falls no winters no you can't fool with
this stuff you got to take it like a tums then what do you change to make
your life work well you got to start with your philosophy guess what I had to
do at age 25 in order to change my own future I had to change my mind I had to
change my thinking I had to change my philosophy I was messed up on what was
causing my problem and once I got that straightened out that all the stuff I
blame the government and taxes and the marketplace the economy and things cost
too much negative relative cynical neighbors once I got rid of that and
started going for where the real problem was which was me I'm telling you my life
exploded into change my bank account changed immediately my
income changed immediately my whole life took on a whole new look in color
immediately and the early results I got from making these philosophical changes
tasted so good I've never stopped the process from that day into this I'm
telling you with a little consideration of the refinement of your sale by
setting a better sale refining your philosophy your whole life can start to
change them today on you don't have to wait till tomorrow you don't have to
wait till next month you don't have to wait till spring don't have to wait till
93 you can start this whole process immediately
I recommend it come some people do so little thinking they don't even have
their sale up I mean you can imagine where they're gonna wind up at the end
of this week at the end of this month at the end of this year now is the chance
to change process all this information so number one is philosophy okay and we
dealt with all that where we get ideas from personal experience from other
people's experiences I don't want to get into all those details because we've
covered that the last time I was here but philosophy that's number one
my personal opinion each person's personal philosophy here's
the definition of success and failure just make this note
here's failure a few errors in judgment
and repeated every day now you can automatically
assume mr. Owen I say I can understand that a few errors in judgment repeated
every day for six years
I'm with my father I think I filled the story the last time I was here my father
88 years old he's never been ill still hasn't retired not long ago midnight
we're getting ready to go to bed we've drilled a new well that's water got some
more acres going he's all excited at midnight we're getting ready to go to
bed my father's eating what he calls his midnight snack
little by deed for he go to bed don't have to go to bed hungry and I'm
watching him eat this midnight snack guess what he had an apple few graham
crackers and a glass of grapefruit juice I said no one to my father so healthy my
mom taught us all those good health practices taught me when I'm growing up
right I'm an only child I've never been ill that's the big five Oh some time ago
my two daughters 3233 never been healed my grandkids never been able telling you
the legacy lingers on as I watch my father have this midnight snack suddenly
occurred to me no that's part of it an apple what a day that's gotten to Dallas
Fort Worth right an apple
an apple a day keeps the doctor away good question for this intelligent
audience what if that's true you say well mr. Owen if that's true that would
be easy to do then what's the problem it's easy not to do it's easy not to
adopt it as your own personal philosophy well the guy messed up to say guy says a
Hershey bar today say no no you've been watching too much
television it is not Hershey bar you got to be
smarter in philosophy then to fall for the Hershey bar a day when it's an apple
a day you got to be smarter than them and if you make that kind of an error in
judgment every day for six years I'm telling you it'll accumulate into
disaster sometimes the first year you say well you know I'm so healthy now
what difference is it gonna make you got to be smarter than that
just because disaster doesn't fall on us at the end of the first day doesn't mean
disaster isn't coming you got to be so smart that you look down the road and
say will the errors in my present judgment of philosophy what's that gonna
cost me in one year six years one months six months I'm telling you the money
cost and the health cost and the success cost is two gigantic if you look down
the road a little ways and say are there errors in my current judgment like an
apple versus a Hershey bar is that just a good illustration of some of the rest
of my errors in judgment if it is that's where I found myself at age 25 I started
working when I was 19 I met my teacher who helped turn my life around when I
was 25 that's six years at the end of the first six years of my economic life
I've got pennies in my pocket I've got nothing in the bank the
creditors are calling saying hey you told us the check was in the mail I'm
embarrassed I'm behind on my promises I live in America
I'm 25 year old American male I got a nice family every reason to do well
and I messed up now what's messed up I used to think it was the community that
was messed up and the country was messed up and the government was messed up
if those Democrats ever get in the White House that'll really mess things up if
the Republicans stay in power that'll really mess things up the economy was
messed up interest rates are messed up I thought all this stuff was messed up
then I found out that's not what was messed up I was criticizing the only
thing I had to work with what was really messed up was my own personal philosophy
my own errors in judgment in my own personal philosophy brought me in six
years two pennies in my pocket nothing in the bank and trying to explain why I
wasn't doing well living in America 25 year-old American male got a family
every reason to do well now once I understood this here's the formula for
failure errors in judgment being lacks about developing your own personal
philosophy I'm telling you it's called accumulated disaster it doesn't matter
whether it's your health or your bank account guys got an empty bank account
probably has high cholesterol why over the last six years he never paid
attention to either one and it doesn't matter whether it's a dollar or whether
it's your money or whether it's your cholesterol count all you got to do is
commit the errors and just because disaster doesn't fall on you at the end
of the first day that you don't eat an apple you say well I didn't need an
apple today and tonight I'm not ill well you got to be brighter than
you
good good no I'm telling you that's why at the end
of 5 years I've 6 years I found myself with pennies in my pocket nothing in the
bank creditors calling could should won't could should don't
he's called disaster now how do you change all that the next six years I got
ribs the next six years I became a millionaire by the time I'm 31 I'm a
millionaire how about that you say well mr. Owen what happened well strangely
enough during that second six years of my economic life the government was
about the same I'm telling you taxes were about the same my negative
relatives were the same I'm telling you the economy was about the same and
prices were about the same and everything else was about the same
circumstances were about the same then how come I got rich how come I totally
changed my life I was not the same somebody says well where did you go to
work on to do all that I started with my philosophy I started amending my errors
by doing some better thinking changing my mind coming up
you
for life using the only stuff there is and not trying to change any of this
stuff appreciate all of this stuff with all of its ups and downs with all of its
mystery of why it works and sometimes it doesn't work don't challenge this you
don't have to ask for another planet you don't have to ask for another country
just ask for another book ask for another seminar ask for another idea
and you can start this whole process of personal life change now I could spend
the whole day on philosophy that's where it is if I could get you intrigued with
that enough to study it enough to ponder it to where you pick up the commitment
like I didn't say hey as simple as an apple a day as simple as we're walking
around the block why not start right there if you don't start there where
else you gonna start might as well start where it's easy and then go to the more
complicated just because if you can't handle the conflict hit it the simple
discipline how can you handle the company

Building a CNC Controller for Under 120 Dollars - Duration: 12:26.
What's up guys, This is chase from chase's workshop in this video ill show you How I built my CNC controller for under
$120 dollars. this is the actual board right here
We're gonna go through all the parts where to get them how much they are they're all gonna be links in the description too we
Can go down and click on them and go buy one if you want to this helps you out
Please give me a like if you liked it. Please subscribe. Thanks for watching guys
Our guys so real quick
I'm just gonna go over all the parts and then we're going to zoom in and go over them individually so
I always have here. It's not a lot, but it looks like a lot of no
I've got the four driver boards these two are both for my y-axis. I've got a wild one in a white X
I have two motors from our y-axis
And then I have a x-axis and a z-axis
These boards are here are smacking. I think's how you say it smacking like I said, they're linked in the description. These are actually
$14.90 now when I bought them, they're right at sixteen seventeen dollars
So like I said, they're cheap. They have a revised version of these, but the the revised versions
Don't have a good reviews as these I guess because they're new or new all the kinks worked out in them. These are actually
Rated from nine votes to 42 votes so if you get a 48 volt power supply make sure you adjust them to to work
under their specs
The next thing I want to go over at quick is does this breakout board I got this from CNC for PC
comm
They also actually sell these on Amazon now
So I'll link that in the description to the same company doesn't have a lot of good stuff to there if you haven't been there
And seen what they've got
CNC for PC
Dot-com they have all kinds of different things. I'll link them in the description to you. There's a lot of good stuff
This was actually this right now. It's 23 dollars on Amazon
And that the board that I'm gonna linking it looks a lot different than this board a lot of these components and stuff for
Surface mounted underneath now and so this top just looks bare when I first saw it
I was like that that's not the same board but according to do miss exact same board just smaller components and stuff for it and
like I said 23 bucks on Amazon so
$14.90 for each of these and
$23 for this board here the power. Supply is a 24 volt
15 amp power supply about this one on Amazon - and it was
Linked in the description is $23 our $21 $21 right now, so like I said a while ago
if you won't use a forty eight votes make sure if you're going to use these drivers to
Adjust this little potentiometer here down to where you're only giving out less than 42 votes, so you don't fry your driver boards
This right here is just the old computer supply that I that I had lying around
Technically, I don't need this you could just borrow five vote
Power supply or something, but I was thinking in the future
I'd like to have maybe an Arduino board in here something that I can run different things with and so I put this in here
All it's doing is it's sending five votes to my breakout board
And it's sending power to a fan which I have disconnected right now because this stays open now
And I hadn't put a top on it yet
But anyways now we're gonna go I'm gonna zoom in and go through all the different parts of how to hook them up and stuff
Like that so I'll stick around okay
Guys so here's our driver one of our driver boards that we're using and like I said you can see down here
where it shows you your
voltage rating nine votes - took 42 voltage DC
These are just receiving power right here that whatever your power
Supply is is feeding to this voltage DC plus right here, and then you have a ground so it's coming off of
the power supply - here
We're going to go over how the breakout board connects right quick it just comes in
With two P or 3 pins actually there on your breakout board. There's a there would be a pin -
Then there would be a common between it then they're a bit pin 3. I've got on this one you can set up
However you want to but on this one
I've got the pin - coming in and going to direction pulse right here are the direction. I'm sorry right here
So it's on the red, so it's going to this one here
Okay on the common on the breakout board. We've set the breakout board to
Send common as five votes
Plus five votes, and I'll show you when we go how to do that
But anyway so that that's this red wire coming in right here
And this is five votes coming in and it's feeding right into the direction
Plus five right here as you can see
Direction plus five and then there's a jumper right here that circling around and coming to our
posts plus five votes
So that that common that we're running from the breakout board is going to both of those and then the number three pin
That's on our breakout board over. There is coming to here and
It's actually the pulse so we have a direction in a pulse coming from our breakout board
And we have a five boats coming so Direction one pin pulse one pin and then
Plus five votes is another pin over there so each of these job boards is getting
three wires from our breakout board
And then this is where the motors hook up these four wires right here you have
a B negative B plus and a negative and a plus and
Those are pretty straightforward when hooking up your motors and stuff you can figure that out
Once you get your motors did a lot of research. I mean you this really simple so
Like I was talking about a while ago. These these dip switches. They're back here on this backside right here
You know and there's there's six of them, so there's there's three right here and this first block
Try to move this other way where you can see it this first block right here is
The actual first three pins the second block is the next three pins
And so you just go through there what your specs are like I said mine. I'm using let's see
my conception uses 8 micro steps
and that
Tells me I need to off on off for my first three so the first one needs to be off
Only second one off on the third one and then like I said my aunt my motors are pulling about two amps to point to
Peak
Currents to point to somewhere around there
Are two point o2 to point to something my steps are owned off off for the four five and six ones?
Like I said these are
Easy to figure out I mean you can look at them and figure out how to do it
So that's really all there is and like I said this board is
$14.90 on Amazon, so like I said it'll be in the description so you can get one just like it
Okay, and here's here's our power supply and like I said, this is a 24 volt 15 amp power. Supply it actually has three
Different
Voltage pluses out so we have a voltage here voltage 24 volts here 24 volts here 24 bucks here
And we have three ground ground here and here ground ground here, so
For these first two drivers are here for my y-axis
I'm using one of these legs 24 volt leg coming up here, and it's just going to here
Voltage for a driver and it's jumping to this side for voltage so it's feeding both of these
Then I have a ground coming back to my purse on the ground
And then this white one comes up here and goes to my other driver board over here
And the ground come back to here, and then the black goes up here and goes to this driver board back over here
And comes back so the this is why are these UPS pretty simple if you wanted a second board?
You know you second power supply you could mount it next to it
And you would just instead of using this red going to these two and you would put red from?
This board over here to these two and then the ground back to that board so
That's pretty that's pretty simple pretty self-explanatory
Like I was saying while ago. There's a little dip switch right over here on the backside of this
That you can adjust it up and down for like this is if this was 48 boats and this board doesn't
The specs are
442 votes you can come up here and you can put you a
Meter here and adjust that voltage down to where you're not
putting 48 votes on to your 42 vote driver board
That's pretty much it on that
Okay, here is the breakout board?
And I got tenure while I go
We had to set these Commons
So you can see a common is between each of these
Like we have pin two and three there's a common right below that we have four and five here. There's a common there
Six and seven common there seven and eight common eight and nine common so we have a common between every everyone these
output pins
Alright now if you look at this pin right here are this I guess this will be pins
If you look right below it it says 1 2 2 is a common
equals ground and
then if you flip this to 2 and 3
2 2 3 common equals 5 votes
so you want this to be on 5 votes to send five votes to each of our boards and
Like I said a while ago. I've got 2 & 3 hooked up to one one board with the common or to one driver
4 & 5
Coming to a driver 6 & 7 & a common to a driver & 8 & 9 & a common to a driver
so
that's how that's
Easy-peasy hook up there
of course you have your parallel port that comes in right here from your computer and
You have this right here is actually I'm sending a
voltage out and bringing it back on
Pin 15 and this is for my limits I have limits on my
My machine to where if it gets if it hits a certain limit it shuts the Machine down
and then we have our ground and
5 votes coming in and then I jumped this - I don't remember why I did this
But I know you need to to make it work
Jump the five votes to eat in here. That's it this pin says Ian on
en
And you have some more inputs here, too, we could do more if you wanted to you can do more
send more limits out of you and limit for each of these or happy wanted to do that and
That's really it on the border
I will make make sure if you're gonna get on these boards make sure you have a computer that has a parallel port
If you don't that I do have
USBs two parallel, but I've never used it
So I don't I don't know how how all that works if they work good or not?
And if if they do or if you're gonna do that I would do a lot of research on them yeah
That's it for this video
If you have any questions comments, please leave them below I'd love to help you out and getting your CNC machine up and running
If you need information on how to hook this thing up to Mach 3 or any other software that your controller software
Just search on youtube. There's a bunch of good videos on YouTube about Mach 3. I use Mach 3
you can figure out how to hook these pins and different pins up to the
Breakout board stuff like that and it's not hard at all
But if it is hard
Let me know I'll make a video. I don't care
I'm wanting ideas for videos, so if that's something you want me to do
Just tell me hey chase make a video on it ok, I will
also, tell probably gonna make do it do it maybe a
series where I'm going through like my
Workflow and basically where the workflow is if you know what to see and see you know what that is you've got a CAD program
a cam program a controller program
And then you know everything how I get from there to
To a product and idea in my head to a product in my hand how do I do that and I'm gonna go through it?
so I'm
