Arduino CNC – GRBL Shields / Boards
The following are a few of the shield / boards that are compatible with GRBL. GRBL is G-Code interpreter that is able to run on small Atmel Micro-controllers like the controllers used on Arduino Boards. Using GRBL (software) and these micro-controllers(Hardware) makes it very easy and affordable to build your own Computer Numerated Controlled Machines(CNC) … Read More →
Arduino to Raspberry Pi Bridge Shield – PCB’s finally Arrived.
In the first part of this project I described the technical details of the shield After a few weeks of waiting, I have finally receive the first batch of PCB’s I designed and they look fantastic. Here are a few photo’s: So what are the advantages/benefits/pro’s of this little shield? Firstly this shield will protect your Raspberry … Read More →
Spark Core – Arduino + Wi-Fi + ARM Cortex M3 + wireless programming + REST API = awesome.
SPARK CORE – WHAT IS IT? The Spark Core is an Arduino-compatible, Wi-Fi enabled, cloud-powered development platform that makes creating internet-connected hardware a breeze. This little board packs a punch: with a 72 MHz ARM Cortex M3, the best Wi-Fi module on the market, wireless programming, and lots of pin outs and peripherals, there’s nothing … Read More →
Arduino MICO shield – Control things from a dial-tone.
Igor Ramos has created a cool little Arduino shield that connects up to your mobile phone and listens for Dial-Tones that it can convert to commands. This is useful for making a nice little automated answering machine for your home or shop. If you are even more creative you can program it to switch on … Read More →
GRBL Arduino Library – Use the Arduino IDE to flash GRBL directly to your Arduino
We have created an Arduino Library of the popular GRBL g-code Interpreter. A great little application that turns your Arduino into a very capable CNC machine. This library makes it so much easier to install GRBL onto your Arduino. No more issues with making HEX files or trying to find a way to upload the Hex … Read More →
Configure Marlin Firmware with Ramps 1.4 and GADGETS3D Shield with Panel (LCD and SD)
To run the Marlin Firmware on the following setup you need to configure it as below: Arduino Mega 2560 Ramps 1.4 3d Printer Electronics Gadgets3D Shield with Panel (LCD and SD card reader) Configuration.H #define MOTHERBOARD 34 // Sets the Motherboard as Ramps 1.3/1.4 with two extruders #define TEMP_SENSOR_0 1 // This defines the … Read More →
Arduino Fuse settings
I recently worked on converting GRBL to work on the Arduino Mega. There were some issues with the Fuse configuration. Luckily Cody Snyder has done a great job of mapping out all the Arduino Micro-controller Fuse values…. Arduino Uno Low Fuse 0xFF High Fuse 0xDE Extended Fuse 0×05 Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ ATmega328 Low Fuse 0xFF High … Read More →
