![]() I wanted to make a standalone box, so I decided to control everything with a Raspberry PI. A pretty decent program and it also runs on Linux. I did some research online and found bCNC. But back to the controller box.įirst, I wanted to skip the use of my laptop. The moters a somewhat bigger in size as well so I have to adapt my machine a little bit. It has 2 powersupplies, 4 drivers and 4 NEMA23 motors (3Nm). So, out with the old, in with the new! I bought a complete set of drivers, powersupply and motors online. I will be using these motors in another project soon. I soon realized these are too weak for their job assigned to them. It had a hard time to keep steady while doing some tougher materials than MDF □ When I started with my first machine, all was completely new to me and I did not want to spend much money on my first motors so NEMA17 sounded like a good choice back then. It did a pretty decent job as long as I didn’t push it to its boundaries. ![]() ![]() The steppers (NEMA17) were driven by xxx drivers. The Arduino was controlled by my laptop, which blocks me from doing other stuff while a job is running. I’ve completely rebuild my RPI Controller box.My old controller box had an Arduino with a Protoneer CNC Shield on top. ![]()
