    Summary of recent updates:

    Now the DAA is really complete, download it from here:
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/uncategorized#daa

    The Arduino library has improved and instructions for installing it are more complete.
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/foundations#arduhal

    Adding an image with the connections between "DustSensor" and the sensor SHARP.
    https://www.theremino.com/hardware/inputs/dust-sensors

    We have improved the Media Player application:
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/multimedia#mediaplayer

    Improved SlotViewer application:

    Posted on file "Theremino_NetModule_FirewallProblems" on the page of NetHAL:
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/foundations#nethal

    Updated SignalScope V 1.9 https://www.theremino.com/downloads/foundations#signalscope

  3. Livio says:

    We have updated their application to version EmotionMeter 3.0
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/biometry#emotionmeter

    Now is a very complete application.
    You get great performance with hardware that is easy to build.

  4. Livio says:

    Great improvements in all HAL !!!

    – We've corrected dozens of small faults.
    – The list is updated faster, and stops flashing, even if it is very long.
    – The list is more readable (Deletes the column “Dir”)
    – The oscilloscope is improved.
    – The changes to the numerical values now are faster, using PageUp and PageDown
    – You can also use the arrows by combining them with the SHIFT, CTRL and ALT

    Download the new HAL 8.0, ArduHAL 2.0 and NetHAL 2.0, with the links below.

  5. Livio says:

    Automation is greatly improved!

    There are also the Breakpoint, The Watches, the step-by-step operation, the instructions to go to full screen and Select-Homes. And there is finally also the documentation, read it to find out all the news. https://www.theremino.com/downloads/automation

  6. Livio says:

    We have published the version 1.6 the library for Arduino:
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/foundations#arduhal

    In earlier versions the pins are set up as UNUSED were set as INPUT and this prevented to use them as OUTPUT to the loop of the Arduino.

  7. Livio says:

    We finally found and fixed the defect, that slowed down and did move jerkily, Theremino CNC controlled machines.

    We will include this fix in version 5.0 I will post in a few days.

    With this fix, the movement, especially for large circles, It will be much more fluid. Also the running time will shrink a lot and will be similar to that calculated.

    If someone wants to try the fix, email us or call, and we will send out a test version 4.9 x.

    • Carmine Pagnotti says:

      A long long time ago I tried to run my CNC with CNC Theremino ,and I noticed that the movements were not fluid and it is especially feces present, but I was told that the problem was definitely on my mechanics.
      Today I read that you made corrections in this regard and therefore I would like to try again.
      What to do, redownload CNC Theremino or you still have to change?
      Thank you

      • Livio says:

        Just download and ThereminoCNC ThereminoHAL (who are both in the CNC download ZIP) and use them instead of the previous.

        If you had already apply the HAL application configurations and CNC (i INI file) you store the files you used previously instead of the new ones that are in the ZIP.

        – – – – –

        However, if the movements were not fluid will probably not even now. To successfully operate our applications you should carefully adjust the values ​​MaxSpeed, MaxAcc and StepPerMM application in HAL.

        These values ​​must also be coordinated with the microstepping driver (that to have fluid movements should be as high as possible, with only the maximum speed limit reached).

        Finally – important – CNC application in the maximum speed (both in the application that in GCode) It must never exceed the maximum speed that has been set to the HAL for the slower axis.

        Other CNC systems do not require all the attention (make corrections in secret) but the principle of Theremino system has to be very simple. In return you have to adjust all accurately, otherwise perform poorly, or disaster.

    Hi I'm implementing some simple sensors on a robot to count the number of pieces produced.
    I am writing statements with Automation. My questions are :

    1) If I wanted to insert the operator code in process?
    2)If I wanted to point out in addition to the number of pieces the real cycle time to calculate in Real time the returns?
    3)If you want to create dashboards?
    4) If you wanted to store and save all of these values above( even the part numbers for examples) over time?
    5)Button or other programs may help me?
    Thank you very much

    Thank you

    • Livio says:

      And’ a project too complex for Automation.

      The points 1 and 2 would be easy to implement.
      I'm not sure how you mean the dashboards, but I think not.
      And even store files etc..

      For such a project have to use VbNet, from our example (one simple, Maybe “EmptyApp”) and add all your functions.

      And it's not easy.

      Maybe you could use Theremino Script, but I don't recommend because as soon as the project he complicated a little’ He would become insufficient (does everything in a single file).

      Maybe you could use VBA (Visual Basic For Applications), that is in EXCEL and WORD and is a bit’ easier to use than DotNet, but not so.

      ———

      My advice is to use VbNet, It's the easiest to use and has an unlimited power.

      The development environment (Visual Studio 2008) is free. Go see our pages that talk about it and learn how to never recommend him instead of the latest (and heavy) Visual Studio Community.

    We improved the application SlotsToMidi, with a new operating mode specialized for capacitive buttons.
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/multimedia#slotstomidi

  10. Livio says:

    Who built the ion Chamber should replace the two capacitors from 1 uF, high voltage power supply, with SMD ceramic capacitors from 10 uF. And it would also be good to add an electrolytic 220 UF on 5 volts.

    The long explanation is here:

    Finalmente il sito Theremino è completamente SSL (Secure Sockets Layer), una tecnologia che garantisce la sicurezza di una connessione a Internet e protegge i dati sensibili scambiati fra due sistemi.

    Il sito era sicuro anche prima, ma alcuni link puntavano a siti che non lo erano, per cui i browser davano messaggi poco rassicuranti. Ora abbiamo completato l’operazione di pulizia e i browser contrassegnano il sito con il colore verde e con la scritta “Sicuro”.

    Inoltre se si accede al sito senza lo https iniziale, questo viene aggiunto automaticamente. Così si usufruisce sempre di un collegamento sicuro.

    Now you can even set a voltage level that stops the sampling (in what is called classic oscilloscopes “Single shot”).

  28. Livio says:

    We solved a small but annoying flaw, in some cases, prevented him from recognizing the Arduino modules.

    Download the library for Arduino - Version 1.8 - and replaced the previous one, as explained on this page:
    https://www.theremino.com/downloads/foundations#arduhal
