Automate your machine
document the group project and your individual contribution
For this Assignment the first thing i do is to undersand how I can control the stepper motor,
using a Gcode.
I search some tutorials on internet, that can help me to understan how stepper motor works, and how I can configure the electric connection for automate the machine. I follow this tutorial:
Tutorial
First create a circuit on a bradboard and one A4988 Diver, and I understand how I must do the electronic connections, on the CNC shield we want to use.
The test i do is this:
One of the problems is with the regolation of the the potentiometer on the Driver, It's important because It need to set the how current must flow
on the Stepper and have a good performance of it.
This is the image of the X axis with the Stepper Driver and the complete electronic connections:
This the Electronic Hardware I use and the connections for the stepper:
After Enrico Upload, the gbrl firmware on the CNC shield, I try to understan how works chilipeppr gcode sender
