Overview
CNC Shield V.3 expansion board Can be used for engraving machines, 3D printers. Can drive four A4988 stepper motor and 6 IO ports can be use
Features
Expansion Board Pin-out Definition:
- 8 ----------------------- EN ( stepper motor driver enable, active low )
- 7 ----------------------- Z.DIR (Z -axis direction control )
- 6 ----------------------- Y.DIR (Y -axis direction control )
- 5 ----------------------- X.DIR (X -axis direction control )
- 4 ---------------------- Z.STEP (Z -axis stepper control )
- 3 ---------------------- Y.STEP (Y -axis stepper control )
- 2 ---------------------- X.STEP (X -axis stepper control )
- GRBL 0.8c compatible. (Open source firmware that runs on an Arduino UNO that turns G-code commands into stepper signals)
- 4-Axis support (X, Y, Z, A-Can duplicate X,Y,Z or do a full 4th axis with custom firmware using pins D12 and D13)
- 2 x End stops for each axis (6 in total)
- Spindle enable and direction
- Coolant enable
- Uses removable Pololu A4988 compatible stepper drivers. (A4988, DRV8825 and others)
- Jumpers to set the Micro-Stepping for the stepper drivers. (Some drivers like the DRV8825 can do up to 1/32 micro-stepping )
- Compact design.
- Stepper Motors can be connected with 4 pin molex connectors or soldered in place.
- Runs on 12-36V DC. (At the moment only the Pololu DRV8825 drivers can handle up to 36V so please consider the operation voltage when powering the board.)
