Basic CNC Machine Using Arduino Uno, Stepper Motors.
In this project I am going to discuss about a CNC machine that I made and tested with few basic shapes. I used stepper motors to control the CNC machine. The motor rotation commands are given by Arduino Uno.
Supplies
Rollers 2 no.
Bearings (8MM) 2 no.
Stud rods 2 no.
wooden blocks 2 no.
supporting studs 2 no.
stepper motor driver 2no.
Arduino Uno and programming cable 1 each
z axis crocodile clip or any support to hold the pen
Description
In this project I have used two stepper motors. One stepper motor is mounted along X-axis parallel to horizontal plane and the other motor is mounted along Y-axis vertical to horizontal plane.
The Z axis motor is not provided. It will be provided in future.
The stepper motors are controlled by commands issued by Arduino Uno to draw the target shape.
Presently line, square , and triangle has been tested with this project.
Software is being developed to increase the capability of this CNC machine.
