Pulse Frequency modulation fan control instead of pwm
-
I am using an ssr to control a linear compressor for a berd-air part cooling system.
Standard pwm signal did not vary the compressor output (it only operated at full) so I added a full bridge rectifier after the ssr so now one dc pulse = one pulse of the compressor. I use the M950 Q command to vary the frequency of my compressor and then adjust pwm duty cycle to get the pump running smoothly anywhere from 1-60hz.
The problem is that it takes a lot of gcode post processing to make my part cooling fan work.
The reason I want to use this compressor is so i can use one "fan" on a tool changing matching with a standard V6 hot end and with a super volcano hot end, even laser air assist some day.I think people laser cutting or even cnc routers could use these compressors if fan outputs could be switched to pulse frequency modulation with some sort of duty cycle
