CNC Shield for Arduino
The CNC shield for Arduino has total four slots, can drive 4 A4988 stepper motors. Each road stepper motors only need two IO ports. In other words, six IO ports can be well managed three stepper motors.
The CNC Shield V3.0 allows you to build a engraving machine, 3D printer, mini CNC and other similar devices using your Arduino. It is designed as a shield and can plug on top of an Arduino requiring no external connections and wiring. There are 4 slots on the board for plugging in stepper motor drive module which can drive 1 stepper motor each. Controlling each step stepper motor requires only two IO pins on the Arduino. Just insert this Arduino CNC Shield V3.0 onto an Arduino UNO, and install the GRBL firmware, you can then quickly build a DIY CNC engraving machine.
This arduino shield is very convenient to use and is suitable for development boards compatible with Arduino. This CNC shield compatible with Arduino is the latest version of the CN shield model (V 3.0). The CNC Shield is GRBL 0.9 compatible and with the help of jumper wires, it is accessible to stepper drivers.
Features:
- Compact design.
- Stepper Motors can be connected with 4 pin molex connectors or soldered in place.
- GRBL 0.9 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)
