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 →

TM220A Table Top Pick & Place – Review by Dangerous Prototypes
Dangerous Prototypes recently purchased a TM220A Pick & Place machine to do in-house prototyping. The machine is a very basic model but good for making a few boards at a time. Alignment is not perfect but with a well setup re-flow oven it will align the parts into place.
Configuring Grbl (Arduino Based CNC-Controller)
Start by getting to know the shortcut keys Ctrl + X = Restart Grbl ! = Pause $ = Help ? = Current Position/Status $$ = Current Settings $x=val – ‘x’ being the number of the setting to be changed and ‘val’ being the new value. $H = Homing Cycle return to X,Y,Z = O.O Basic … Read More →
Quick GRBL setup guide for Windows (Arduino G-Code Interpreter)
UPDATE ! ! ! 1. We have created and Arduino Library for GRBL. This makes its much easier to flash GRBL to your Arduino Board. http://blog.protoneer.co.nz/grbl-arduino-library 2. We have given back to the GRBL project and developed a ARDUINO CNC SHIELD that is 100% GRBL compatible.(Click here for more details) This is a quick guide on … Read More →
