Arduino CNC Shield — 100% GRBL Compatable
bo it yourself CNC projects are popping up everywhere and we decded that we wanted
to contribute to the growth
Here are a few of our design goals:
+ Modular Design - We wanted to do more than just keep cos down. We wanted
things tobe usable and up-gradable. (Arduino ndvidual stepper Motor Drivers
and more.)
+ Compact Design - Squeezing 4 als design int # board the same size and Arduino
+ Opensource Sofware
+ Bvobing Development.

Greetings,
You have éone a nice ob with this board and the instructions, In looking atthe
schematic have a concern when using the DRVS825 from Pololu
‘The 8625 has apn labeled nFAULT. This is an open dan output from the 8825,
‘Your board has the pln tied to +5 the 8825 signals a fault wil ths not cause 2
short of he Sv power and potently destroy he chip?

Thats normal, GRBL uses one enable pinto enable all the stepper divers. A
stepper river wil keep an axs in position when standing sl. With Micro
stepping tis s mare obvious because both coils ofthe stepper needs to

Hi Lwould recommend the Polo A&988 eves. They ar chopper drivers and
‘work by ramping un vols tilt reaches the needed current level, Valage rating
isnot the main concer with stepper drivers. The voltage gong into the stepper
Arve isnt the same asthe voltage going to the steppes.
