Arduino CNC Shield Tutorial - Control Stepper Motors using CNC Shield V3.0

Thank You! I'm using this shield for a wire wrapping machine and needed to know how to enable it, you answered my question. The enable pin doesn't have to jumper to ground though, it is also connected to D8 on the Uno, so you can use code to enable/disable the stepper drivers if you want to rather than having them always enabled.

The first set of drivers I put in had a bad driver and it was enabling the others but the stepper it was driving wouldn't move. When I figured out I had a bad driver, I put what I thought were good drivers in but nothing worked anymore. I think I made the mistake of putting drivers in before I used a multimeter to trace which pin went where and all the driver enable pins showed as being straight to ground pins on the Uno so I figured they must just be always enabled. Yes, I'm stupid but a lot of people just short the enable pins to ground anyway rather than coding the stepper enable pins.

help me ! i want to contro,l 4 stepper motor in one ardino Which motor controller will be used?

Thank Youi am converting a Dremel Drill Press to 3 axis CNC Mini Mill. This was a big help.

You should use PWM not manually pushing bits

Thanks a lot! That is a great overview.

i learned everything i needed thanks for making such a great and detailed explanation

Hello, I'm using your stepper test code, to make an inexpensive toy, since I had bipolar steppers in hand. I was wondering how to control the rotation speed, in the code, using your stepper code test script, and the V3 module. I'm using all 4 outputs, from the V3 module, including the A output.

I have the shield and the Uno, but I don't see any FET transistors on it - so I guess the stepper currents are driven directly from the chips?
What size of stepper will they drive? NEMA 23?

How much amps is required??? Pls ans

i am using CNC shield since last 3 years and i never connect enable
& ground to each other and even it works fine. so why I should connect or jump this 2 port?

i want to use 4 nema 17 with these same drivers can you tell me how to calculate total current and voltage and how to choose the correct power supply as required. And also that enabling of enable pin keep the shield and arduino isolated ? could be so helpful !

Hi sir, which power supply is that you are using? how much voltage is it

H7ju 😅😂

Thanks, this is great with the GRBL Controller. I know GRBL from my Atomstack Laser.

Where is the jumpers?

can I use bigger motors with this?

Which software can I use to imprent or engrave a design ??

Z axis not working 😑🥺

You are great 👍
I am from Canada i am making a one project so I need your help so how can I contact you

how to start spindle motor in auto mode on off ? and where conection of spindle motor

Hi
arduino uno + cnc shield v3 + A4988 motor driver + stepper motor
itna mene try kar liya he. or success bhi he.
ab muje isko controller ke sath operat karna he . to kese kar sakte he ?
kyunki muje 1 mm se 2.5 mtr tak move karna he . or forword reverse ka speed bhi change karna hota he.
iski agar koi jankari de sakta he dhanyavad.

Thanks Bro For Stepper motor testing CODE.👍🙏

Dear can I use 12v 10a power supply

What would happen if I don't connect the enable board??

Thanks for this great tutorial, i'd like to ask just one question: can i use only two stepper motors?
Thanks in advance

bro will the cnc sheild work with uno esp8266(wemos d1) board

Where can I get the bare framework to attatch this to? Thanks guys!

Dónde compraste tu Arduino?

How much voltage and current is he using from the power supply? I think that's a very important point missing from this tutorial. Otherwise it was very helpful.

Is there a way to drive all motors simultaneously?

Is there a way to drive all motors simultaneously?

Thanks 👏

this vdo is great. Thanks.

I just got a complete CNC machine that might have a fried board. So i've been thinking about getting to learn to use Arduino.
Maybe i can replace the "electronics" with an Arduino instead of having to buy new parts for 1000$ :)

Thanks for the vid, i will look more into this!

This was a great video! Easy to follow along to and very simple. I've learned a lot.

Thr is an error compiling "cnc shield demo"

Does the stepper motors make any noise? If so, how much?

great video . i really appreciate it . may i ask about the A driver? it wasnt used in the video. maybe you can instruct me how to use the A driver as a stepper motor controller . and do you know how to make all the stepper motors run together simultaneously? id really be thankful about it

Hi, do i need to power arduino too

Thanks for the video. For my motors I had to increase the 500 microsecond delays for the step pulses to 2000 microseconds for one type of motor and to 3500 microseconds for another type.

controller won't connect to com port

Awesome. 😀

Great job sir thanks

Hello, program ran a few times and then quit. Current displayed on power supply went to zero while voltage remains at 12 [V]. Any thoughts regarding why current may have quit and motors are no longer operating? EN/GND jumper still in place... Thanks! Great / helpful video!

hi greate video!but i just want run one stepper so i change the demo code ,unlucky it doesn't work ,the driver is enabled but the stepper has no voice not even run ,so sad,is there some problem~thx alot!

Does anyone know how to access driver “A” ? It doesn’t seem to be wired to the arduino.
