grbl is stepper motor controller firmware for three-axis cnc machines, intended to run on Arduinos with a motor driver add-on board. Engineer in Wonderland cnc-related blogs are indexed here It is the ...

This familiar footprint manages to contain everything you need for a three-axis machine. The purple boards slotted into the pairs of SIL headers are Pololu Stepper motor drivers. Going this route ...

A simple project to control 3 stepper motors using Arduino and a CNC shield. Stepper motors are controlled by a joystick. Joystick X and Y axes control X and Y stepper motors in the default mode. When ...

An interesting Arduino project has been published to the Instructables website showing how an Arduino CNC shield and controller has been used to create an awesome 3 axis Arduino CNC plotter. The ...

[Sebastian] and [Stefan Shütz] had a ISEL EP1090 CNC machine at home, sitting unused, and they decided to bring it to life. With pretty good mechanical specs, this CNC looked promising – alas, it was ...

DVD drives contain small stepper motors and linear mechanisms that are perfect for micro-movement control. This project reuses one of those axes for movement, allowing you to simulate CNC motion with ...

This homemade CNC machine is the second version which uses mostly off the shelve parts where every part is allowed for some adjustments and the different design makes it easier to be built. The main ...

I needed a tacho/RPM display for a CNC spindle. I decided to use an Arduino Micro and OLED display with a reflective LED/Photo transistor as a sensor. Since powering up, a clock can display the total ...

Young maker and Arduino enthusiast Nikodem Bartnik has created a fantastic Arduino CNC machine by converting a Dremel cutting tool and using a selection of 3D printed parts and aluminium profiles.

Once, long ago when magazines still existed, I bought a copy of Popular Mechanics. Inside was a guide on how to build a robotic lawnmower. Now this was back in the 1980s so it wasn’t a very complex ...
