Usage:
The Arduino CNC Shield makes it easy to get your CNC projects up and running in a few hours. It uses open sourcefirmware on Arduino to control 4 stepper motors using 4A4988 Stepper drivers,,with this shield and the Arduinoyou can build all kinds of robotics or CNC projects including CNC routers, lasercutters and even pick placemachines.
Features: 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, Coolant enable and direction 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. Runs on 12-36V DC.
