OpenBeam Frame and components
Dimensions: 40x32x12cm.
2x Nema17 stepper motor.
Rubber cones to adapt a wide range of coils.
2 axis - 1 Carrier axis - 1 Spooling axis.
2 Proximity sensors for detection of the carrier.
Maximum Coil size: Length 25cm Diameter 9cm.
16x2 LCD Display.
1 USB port.
Atmega328 MCU (arduino programmed).
6 push button.
Speed control with potentiometer.
1 Power switch.
12V operated. Requires 2.1mm Jack center positive.
Carrier resolution: 200step/rev 7.5micron
Spooler Maximum Speed: 60rpm (with current circuit board and sketch)
Carrier Leadscrew: M10 1.5mm pitch

This sketch offer the possibility to control the winder with the button provided by the control board.
Standalone Sketch: Operation Instructions
CNC Sketch
Coming Soon. A sketch for controlling the winder via serial port is being developed. This will turn the AlbaWinder into a complete CNC machine. Your contribution is welcome if you wish to help.
The Control Circuit Board
The control circuit board host the following:
- Atmega 328 MCU (arduino)
- FTDI to USB adaptor.
- 6x push buttons
- 1x potentiometer
- 2x A4988 Stepper motor controller
- 1x i2c connector
- Power supply with switch (30Volts max)

Carrier position sensors
Two optical sensors are mounted behind the carrier to detect position. This is used to change the direction of the carrier when reaching the end of the coil. They are manually adjustable using the knob screw.
