PCBWAY is known for producing PCBs of exceptional quality and maintaining high standards, which is why many people trust them for their PCB and PCBA needs.

Below are some of my PCB’S manufactured by PCBWAY and I am fully satisfied by their Quality of service they provide.

1. Design: Create a digital design or model of the object you want to produce using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software.
2. G-code Generation: Convert the CAD design into G-code, which is a series of commands that specify the tool’s movements, speeds, and other parameters. Specialized software or slicers (e.g., for 3D printing) generate this G-code.
3. Arduino Programming: Write or upload firmware (e.g., Grbl, Marlin) to the Arduino that can interpret G-code commands and control the stepper motors and other machine components.
4. Assembly: Build the physical structure of the CNC machine, including mounting the motors, tool head, and any additional components.
5. Electrical Wiring: Connect the Arduino, stepper motors, motor drivers, limit switches, and power supplies, ensuring proper grounding and safety measures.
6. Calibration: Calibrate the machine by setting parameters such as steps per millimeter, acceleration, and maximum speed for each axis.
7. Software Setup: Install CNC control software on your computer and configure it to communicate with the Arduino. This software allows you to send G-code commands to the CNC machine.
8. Operation: Load your G-code file into the CNC control software and start the machine. The Arduino interprets the G-code commands, and the motors move the toolhead accordingly to create the desired object.

Stepper Motor Connections (X and Y Axes)

X-Axis Stepper Motor:

• Connect the four of the X-axis stepper motor to a dedicated stepper motor driver board .
• Connect the the input of the motor diver to D2, D3, D4, D5 pin of Arduino nano.
• Connect the ENABLE pin of the stepper motor driver to 5V.
• Connect the stepper motor driver’s GND and VCC (power supply) pins to the Arduino’s GND and +5V pins, respectively.

Y-Axis Stepper Motor:

Connect the four of the Y-axis stepper motor to a dedicated stepper motor driver board .

Connect the the input of the motor diver to D8, D9, D10, D11 pin of Arduino nano.

Connect the ENABLE pin of the stepper motor driver to 5V.

Connect the stepper motor driver’s GND and VCC (power supply) pins to the Arduino’s GND and +5V pins, respectively.
