# RE-TM245P
|
||
|
|
The end goal of this project is to convert a partially broken TM245P Pick and Place to OpenPNP
|
||
|
|
while replacing as little hardware as possible. The difficulty in this is that the feeders and
|
||
|
|
everything on the head are CAN bus controlled. In an effort to not replace these parts, the
|
||
|
|
protocol will need to be reverse engineered.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Approaches
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Smoothieware Port
|
||
|
|
The Charmhigh conversion undertaken by others approaches leaving the controller largely intact
|
||
|
|
and flashing a Smoothieware port onto the STM32. The repo notes suggest the Charmhigh used an
|
||
|
|
STM32F4, which the TM245P also uses. Specifcally the STM32F407ZGT6.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## 'Decap'
|
||
|
|
In this approach the entire head unit will be bypassed. Ideally this could be accomplished by
|
||
|
|
utilizing the existing IDC connector on the power/comm sub-board.
