 # QiTech Control
 
-QiTech Control is an industrial control panel software for the next generation of QiTech recycling machines built on top of Beckhoff Automation hardware.
+QiTech Control is an open-source framework designed to bring modern software paradigms to certified industrial hardware.
+
+It frees developers from proprietary, license-heavy PLC ecosystems and rigid "point-and-click" workflows that are no longer adequate for today's complex automation challenges.
+
+QiTech Control combines the modularity and reliability of standard EtherCAT terminals (e.g., WAGO, Beckhoff) with the power of a modern Rust & React stack.

+# XTREM Communication Protocol
+
+**Version:** 3.007
+**Device:** XTREM / XTREM-S Weighing Module
+**Standard:** OIML R76:2006 / EN45501:2015 compliant
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+The **XTREM communication protocol** allows a terminal or host controller to exchange data and commands with the XTREM weighing module.
+The device transmits and receives ASCII-coded frames over a serial interface (RS232, RS485, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet, depending on configuration).
+
+Since we are using the Ethernet interface we need to provide some kind of DHCP to assign an IP - Address to each XTREM Device.
+They then may be addressed via a **broadcast** IP (e.g.: 192.168.4.255/24).
+A **Unicast** communication is applied through the device ID inside the XTREM Frame.
+
+---
+
+## Frame Structure
+
+Each message—both query and response—has the same format:
+
+```
+STX ID_O ID_D F D_ADDRESS D_L DATA LRC ETX
+```
+
+| Field         | Description                                       | Length (bytes) |
+| :------------ | :------------------------------------------------ | :------------: |
+| **STX**       | Start of message (ASCII `02h`)                    |        1       |
+| **ID_O**      | Sender address (2 ASCII hex chars)                |        2       |
+| **ID_D**      | Destination address (2 ASCII hex chars)           |        2       |
+| **F**         | Function code (`R`, `W`, `E`, etc.)               |        1       |
+| **D_ADDRESS** | Data address (register, 4 ASCII hex chars)        |        4       |
+| **D_L**       | Data length (2 ASCII hex chars)                   |        2       |
+| **DATA**      | Optional data field                               |    Variable    |
+| **LRC**       | Longitudinal Redundancy Check (2 ASCII hex chars) |        2       |
+| **ETX**       | End of message (ASCII `03h`)                      |        1       |
+
+In the default configuration the Frame also requires a CRLF at the end.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```
+STX ‘1’ ‘7’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘R’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘0’ ‘0’ LRC ETX CR LF
+```
+
+---
+
+## Function Codes
+
+| Function | ASCII | Hex | Description     |
+| :------- | :---- | :---| :-------------- |
+| **R**    | R     | 52h | Read request    |
+| **r**    | r     | 72h | Read response   |
+| **W**    | W     | 57h | Write request   |
+| **w**    | w     | 77h | Write response  |
+| **E**    | E     | 45h | Execute command |
+| **e**    | e     | 65h | Execute response|
+
+### Write response codes
+
+* `'0'` – OK
+* `'1'` – Write denied (sealed)
+* `'2'` – Read-only register
+* `'3'` – Invalid value / out of range
+
+### Execute response codes
+
+* `'0'` – Executed successfully
+* `'1'` – Blocked by seal switch
+
+---
+
+## LRC Calculation
+
+The **Longitudinal Redundancy Check** is a one-byte XOR of all message bytes, excluding:
+
+* `STX`
+* `ETX`
+* The LRC itself
+
+Example C function:
+
+```c
+unsigned char LRC(unsigned char* s) {
+    unsigned char lrc = 0;
+    while (*s) {
+        lrc ^= *(s++);
+    }
+    return lrc;
+}
+```
+
+Example Rust function:
+```rust
+pub fn compute_lrc(data: &[u8]) -> u8 {
+    data.iter().fold(0u8, |acc, &b| acc ^ b)
+}
+
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Data Registers
+
+| Address (hex) | Description                | Type | Notes                                 |

+After performing a factory reset, several registers must be configured to ensure proper operation of the device.
+
+Note: The unit may remain set to 'g' after a factory reset, but the values received may be in 'kg' depending on the device configuration.
+
+The following registers should be reviewed and set as required:
+1. **Address: 0022 | Max (Max1) (scale maximum capacity)**
+    The default value for this register may vary between devices (e.g., 60000 or 6000). Set this value to 6000 to ensure correct operation.
+2. **Address: 0023 | e (e1) (scale interval)**
+3. **Address: 0026 | Decimal position**

+
+![](../assets/schematic.png)
+
+---
+
+### 3.2 EK1100 Wiring
+
+This wiring configuration powers the EL2004 and prepares it for LED control.  
+It is not the only possible wiring but is the **simplest functional setup**.
+
+#### ⚠️ Safety Warning  
+Always disconnect power before wiring.  
+Working on live EtherCAT terminals can cause serious damage or electrical shock.
+
+---
+
+#### 3.2.1 Safe Wiring Procedure (Beckhoff Recommended)
+
+1. Insert a screwdriver **straight** into the square release hole.  
+2. Insert the stripped wire into the round opening.  
+3. Remove the screwdriver — the spring clamp locks the wire.
+
+![](../assets/wiring.png)
+
+---
+
+#### 3.2.2 Wiring Steps (Used in This Example)
+
+We supply power using a **DC hollow-plug adapter**, like this one:  
+https://www.amazon.de/dp/B093FTFZ8Q
+
+Perform the following wiring on the EK1100:
+
+1. Red wire **(+24 V)** → Terminal **2**  
+2. Black wire **(0 V)** → Terminal **3**  
+3. Jumper wire from **Terminal 1 → Terminal 6**  
+4. Jumper wire from **Terminal 5 → Terminal 7**  
+

+# Data sheet: QiTech Pro Winder
+
+![datasheet header illustration](/images/manuals/winder/datasheet/header.png)
+
+Short description:
+
+The QiTech Pro Winder is a machine for winding and rewinding 3D printing filaments and other strand materials. It is an improvement upon the proven QiTech Winder with support for multiple filament diameters, spools up to 5 kg, angular speeds up to 20 m/min and automatic adjustment of the winding speed depending on the filament tension.
+
+It consists of a pulling unit, a tension arm, a filament guiding traverse and the spool axis. It is controlled by a computer using the QiTech Control software. The traverse movement ensures a clean wind of the filament on the spool. Automatic load adjustment allows for tight winding without having to manually readjust the winding speed each layer. A laser in the traverse allows for easy calibration of the spool width.

+
+## Requirements of the Spool
+
+The QiTech Pro Winder is compatible with almost all spools. The spool is rotated by a Carrier-Pin and secured against lateral slipping by a quick release mechanism. The maximum spool weight is 5 kg.
+
+![min/max spool dimensions](/images/manuals/winder/datasheet/spool-min-max.png)
+
+<br>
+
+## Winding Speed
+
+How many meters of filament can be wound per minute at maximum speed depends on the inner diameter of the spool/how much filament has already been wound. The resulting path speed determines how much filament can be wound up in a given time. We take a usual spool with an inner diameter of 100 mm to calculate an expected maximum speed. If the inner diameter is larger, the maximum speed shifts upwards.
+
+Winding Speed:
+
+- Min.: 0.5 Meters/Minute
+- Max.: 20 Meters/Minute
+
+<br>
+
+## Friction of the puller rolls
+
+Since the diameter of the extruded filament depends primarily on the pulling speed of the Pro Winder, it is important that it remains constant. This is ensured on the one hand by the use of a stepper motor as drive. At the same time, a vulcanized PU coating of the rolls and a spring-increased contact pressure make the filament only slip through from approx. 30 N tension.
+
+<br>
+
+## Auto-Stop function
+
+When extruding or rewinding, it is often the case that a specific amount of meters must be wound onto a spool. The QiTech Pro Winder has an integrated filament length measurement. For example, after 100 m, it can automatically switch from "wind" to "pull" mode. In addition, the operator is alerted acoustically that the spool has finished winding.
