Test Motherboard + Expansion Card
Today we are testing the complete version of the project (motherboard + expansion card + stepper driver) on my toy CNC. As you can see from the photos, the steppers are directly...
How to meet your every need
“Motherboard only” version This version consists of the motherboard only. Recommended if you are building your own CNC machine from scratch. “Motherboard + Expansion Card” version This version includes the motherboard and...
Assembling the controller…
This is the assembly, step by stesp, of the complete controller (motherboard and daughtercard with the motor drivers on board). In the download page you will find also the step files of...
Making accessories…
We decided to “give a good dress” to the boards: some 3D printing for the chassis and milled aluminum for the front panel… Soon we will publish the models files on dowload...
Testing the boards…
Let’s try the assembled boards! In this case we are testing the boards as a machine controller through a parallel port, useful for those coming from Mach3. https://usercontent.one/wp/www.cnc4fun.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/VID_20190218_093834.mp4?media=1634134136
Assembling the boards…
Some preview images of the boards being assembled! How do they look?
Got the components!
The pcb and the electronic components (almost all) for the assembly of the first cards have arrived! Welding time!
The first prototype
On this page you will find a photo that shows the first prototype that I made. Follow us for future updates on this! For now, with my work I hope that I...
The two boards
My solution consists of two boards, a motherboard and a daughtercard. Actually, the motherboard itself is already enough to build most CNCs, and the addition of a daughtercard is not strictly needed,...
Main features
In addition to the basic features of Bart Dring’s project, I added two functions that I personally find very important for a safer use of CNCs: A potentiometer for real-time MASTER override...
