The Goals: when I put the nema23 don’t work… I am frustated… any idea?? I purchased a little $60 single channel scope off ebay. Keep an eye on noise. My next adventure is with Toolchains. 2013/08/03 5:27 pm / Leave a Comment / Bertus Kruger. Have a look at his link : Hi Bertus, I want to build a hot wire foamcutter and use the arduino cnc shield for it to control the 2 x-axis and 2 y-axis. Both will need some kind of relay to drive a higher current relay.hi !! This chopping produces a high pitch noise and depending on the current setting will vary in volume. i ‘m wont to built my cnc cutting machine and i’m confusing about choosing the right stepper driver to run (2 motors for axes x) ,1 for axe y and 1 for z !! You can also look at some of Pololu’s low current drivers… Just make sure that the steppers are bipolar steppers(4wire) that will work with the Stepper Drivers.My previous question was only for the curiosity to try the shield on the mini cnc (I already have it) using the stepper motors from cd drive (5V, 0.24A like these: Do you think that if I supply 8v to shield I can burn the little motors? Running 2.6A NEMA23s.I noticed that Elecrow is selling a 3.03 and a 3.50 version of the Shield. Seems like you could get much better performance.Answered my own question with a quick google search.Hi. Hello i'm new to the site, new to Arduino & really new to online forums, so go easy on me please......I have just ordered an Arduino UNO, cnc shield & a 3.5" touch screen lcd module to try to control a cnc router machine i am building.1. It is obvious that GRBL is used and it is obvious that you would suggest your own board.

I have just ordered an Arduino UNO, cnc shield & There are a lot of friendly and helpful folks here, so don't worry too much about being new and not really knowing everything about what you are doing. I got the protoneer board to use on my shapeoko 2 and now I’m looking to switch to grbl 0.9g as well.Hi Christophe, Thanks for the question. With the shield, you … What sort of speeds can you get running a 3 axis machine?Hard to tell… Should be in the same ranges as the speeds you can see on the Delta 3d Printers.Your shield looks really good. The pins above the power sets the A-AXIS to clone one of the other three axes.I am sorry but this does not really help. correct me if im wrong but i believe it states that your board runs at a max of 35v? Protoneer.co.nz Electronic Prototyping Specialists. 4th Axis Configurat… Kind regards,Bertus.Nice looking shield.

(Enable pin and GND pin is shared with all stepper drivers. Is it just a case of uploading the GRBL firmware to run this thing?Thanks in advance & remember I'm a total new comer to this so simple would be good.Welcome to the element14 community! The voltage going into the stepper driver is not the same as the voltage going to the steppers.Curious on your thoughts on 4988 vs. 8825. Voltage is not really that big a deal cause the Pololu drivers are Chopper drivers that will adjust the voltage till the adjusted current has been supplied. Nothing. I am trying to improve the Raspberry Pi CNC board. So yes, driving the EN high will disable all. In looking at the schematic I have a concern when using the DRV8825 from Pololu.Have a look at Pololu’s design notes on the Fault Pin. I blew a couple of 8825s trying to get a reference voltage.

the question is: 12v 15AH computer power supply, works well one nema17 if I turn 2 or 3 nema17 they do not work. Voltage rating is not the main concern with stepper drivers. I have received really good feedback for my Arduino CNC Shield and a few days ago I received some nice feedback from Shane demonstrating the little shield in action.

I put only one of the drivers and try to simply put the enable pin (pin 8) on LOW, the X direction pin (pin 5) at any stage and give a pulse on X step pin (pin 2) but the motor didn’t do anything.

We loved Arduino Nano’s but always wanted a bit more performance and memory. I have a bench-top scope and it’s a pain to keep my boards close to the scope or my scope close to my CNC machine. I have a project that needs a control board. This works well when the steppers are matched for the drivers.
