Outstandingly comprehensive! I almost skipped this as there was no sound but the information in the "tips" video was so good I decided to give this a go! Glad I did- thank you. The community needs more of this great content from you!!

Your step by step video was just what I needed to get my arduino and stepper motors set up. Thank you.

I truly appreciate the invaluable info you've given in this video. As an electronics enthusiast and hobbyist, this is my first attempt at building an Arduino project that will be useful to me. I chose to build a CNC plotter to print my PCBs because of the growing difficulty with which I was faced in drawing my circuits onto the boards manually. Not to mention that this was time-consuming and tedious work. So, I designed, then 3D printed my PLA parts, and ordered commercially available hardware such as linear bearings and stainless steel rods, etc., from Amazon. I am using Nema 17 stepper motors for the X- and Y-axis, and a small MG or SG90S servo for the penholder mechanism I designed. I ordered a CNC shield kit for building a 3D printer and will replace the adhesive tape on the heatsinks for the DRV8825 stepper drivers with thermal compound as suggested to prevent thermal shutdown. If all goes well, my machine should be up and running within a week. Thanks again for the info.

Excelent information, much appreciated now I can start to build my own CNC laser engraver!

Thanks, i will be dropping the grbl in after i get through the light burn tutorials. That's where i think i was hung up mostly is the connection between the software and the machine control.

Brief , crystal clear , excellent

This video is precious!! Thank you for the amazing explanation!

Absolutely what I needed! Thank you!

WOW !!! Thisi is what i am finding exactly.... thanks alot

Thanks I’m new to this stuff

Thank you for sharing! God bless You! 👏👏👏☝🙌

Great job sir

Very good video!!!!!thanks a lot!!

Great video. Thank you.

Very helpful!

thank you. Very helpful

Sir you should make more videos! Best regards!

Nice!👌

Seriously!! This is the best video for the set-up I have. Thank you. Do you have any information for me how to attach my router to the CNC controller?

I have the exact same setup. One thing you will have to do, though is make the grbl revision match the CNC shield revision. I see that you have a CNC shield that is v3.00. This is only compatible with grbl 0.8 and below. Grbl 0.9 and above are for the CNBC shield 3.10 and above. The only real difference is that D11 & D12 inputs are swapped. This allows for pwm control of the spindle speed (D11). Your current setup will not recognize the z axis over travel switch. You have 3 options: 1) connect your z axis over travel to your spindle enable and vice versa. 2) download grbl 0.8 to the arduino instead. 3) cut the traces on the CNC shield going to the z axis and spindle enable and solder in new wires to swap them (this is what I did). The history of this CNC shield is that v3.00 and below was open sourced by a New Zealander (protoneer). He was selling it from his website, but quickly got priced out by people cloning it. His new version v3.10, is grbl 1.1 compatible, but he didn’t open source it (hard to blame him).

Thank u! 👌👌

Remember everyone! Do not power the motor driver(s) with no motor(s) (no load). It will fry the driver(s)!

Good info... Can you also guide us how to setup 'End Limit Switch'

Thanks for the great tut. the board still not shown after I connected it to the pc via USB? any suggestions, please?

Hi, I just wonder if this GRBL can run properly with Arduino Nano since the Nano also uses Atmega 328p.

sorry i don't have universal image, but i use openbuilds. may i ask what is the normal volume for the pcb shield. may I tell you how to set the name. When I tested the steppler it turned tight but choked up. shield voltage can have an effect.

hey great video! what are those cables called 8:40 for the power supply?

support this GRBL 4 axis , arduino uno or mega shield V3 have 4 drivers place. can i use all 4 axis ? and if use mega board how connect display this, what lcd display workng ?

How can you control Motor/Axis A with this solution?

What if you need longer wires as my motor are far away from arduino

why not any body tell 775 dc spindle motor conection detail to shield ??

I watched both this and your tips videos. Very helpful. Wondering if you could possibly give me some direction. I'm new to this and setting up my first CNC. I was able to upload GRBL and Universal G-code sender. I'm using the Arduino UNO, with the red drivers. 4 axis. The orange light is blinking, the green light is on. I've double checked my motor wiring with an ohms meter. I am running the set up wizzard in the G-code sender program, when I try to move any of my axis motors in the program, I hear a low humming/buzzing noise, but no movement. It's difficult to determine where the noise is from, possibly the transformer/power supply? I doesn't sound like it's the motors. Is it possible that my drivers are burned out? Is it possible to bi-pass the drivers with a jumper just to check the motors? Any suggestions would be very helpful. TIA. Nick

Hiii I did the exact same thing in the video but my Nema 17 motors with A4988 drivers only spins the motors in one direction regardless of the fact +x and -x is pressed. Please help

Did the same exact thing like you, but my stepperdrivers become really hot after 2 minutes of running the Gcode. What can I do to stop it. I use nema17 steppermotors(nominal 2,5A) The drivers are with a max of 2,5A, maybe this explains something? The rest is the same. Using jumpers and the same powersupply

if I have a power supply connected to the Arduino, do I still need one for the cnc shield to power it? thanks

Como fazer uma cnc sem usa essa placa cnc shield

When you supply the required 12V to the CNC Shield, does it matter how many amps are supplied? The reason I ask is that I have a metric crap tonne of AC adapters with various levels of amperage like 12V @ .4amp which produces 4.8W and I would like to use those.

segui tudo direitinho mas quando carrego no X Y ou Z o motor so faz barulho e não gira o que falta mudar para ele funcincionar?

I would like to control this hardware with an Arduino MEGA board. All connections have done. I send a "?" in order to get MPos and WPos values. But I get meaningless characters on the Serial Port Screen: 19:47:08.708 -> recvRetCommandFinished err 19:47:09.697 -> ? : 19:47:09.697 -> ⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮........ Do you have any suggestions? Actually, I wonder its serial port properties/Characteristics? By the way, for example if I use Hyperterminal software, everything is normal: in response to "?", I get one of the followings:

id like to use the same adruino for signal acquisition also, is this possible?

Hi. I know this vid is a year old but can I feed the proton ever with 24v and the arduino with usb and not have a problem???

​ @jtechcustoms I'm not able to get the UGS to go online on with the arduino uno. I have tried setting the baud rate to 115200 and 9600 but nothing works. What could I do to get this working?

I have a question for the ppl in the comment section who know this stuff.. Q. Do I only need one motor on the X & Y1/2 Axis' if I'm only using belts and pulleys?? How does that work or is there a video tutorial for this on here buys?? Thanls in advance for any answers to this question.. Appreciate u all btw

Hi is it important to add those jumpers. M new to this thing. Thank you

Hi! I have followed the exact steps in the video, except my motor doesn't spin in jog control (instead it vibrates & fixes itself at one position). Any idea what could've gone wrong?

Thanks for your video, but it would have been better if you had provided audio to say something what's going on. Thanks.

hello what is the name of this softwear you used in this video

Hey there my bro.. Could u give me a little advice concerning stepper Drivers TB6600's and how the shield comes into play when I'm using them with the Arduino?? I would love to see u do a video on them but I also want to take a minute to sayt a huge thankyou bro. Ur video actually went through this shit step by step and u made it look a helluva lot simpler than most of the guys and g'yall's on here,, They normally rush like a headless chicken threough the electronics part of their videos and I hate that so a massive thankyou to u Sir for taking it slowly for Electronics dummies like my good self.. Good self? Yeah I'm not really too sure about calling my self my Good self but what the heck..LOL. Do u have any tutorials on ur channel where u do a smiilar thing with the TB6600's instaed of those little stepper drivers? I would very much appreciate ur advice bro. Also anybody in the comments? If u have any information u can add to help me I would be very grateful. See I'm about to embark omn the maddest thing I've ever done build wise. I'm a complete newbie when it comes to CNC's and electronics but I'm going to attempt building my own CNC Router while I'm off work for the XMAS HOLS.. I know it's crazy for somebody with no actual experience with G-Code, or Cad/Cam, etc .. I'm going to attempt this thing guys so wish me luck and ifg u have any great video titles to drop into me on here I would love that. Now I'm looking for slower style videos on how to wire up the whole thing. I have all the gear to carry out the build and I'm going to attemot using Arduino and GRBL too. I have the motors 2 Nmea 17's, 3 Nema 23's (shoulda been 4 in the kit nbut one was broken) but luckily I have enough motors and I will use the 2 Nema 17's on the X AXIS and 2 Nema 23's on the Y1/Y2 AXIS as well. I have a Nema 42 it looks like on the Z AXIS but it's smaller than the Nema 17's which I find strange tbh but how or never we go at it next week guys.. I have all the Aluminium I need for now. 2020 (10x1200mm lengths) 2060 (2x1000mm lengths) and 1x600mm which I will maybe use for the X AXIS for now but I'm still in 2 minds as to what the final size of this CNC will be. I had originally wanted to go all out for 1200X1200mm but I couldn't get 1200mm 2080's or 2060's so as I had a 600mm 2080 I thought maybe I would narrow the width to 600 and make the length 1000mm? I'm still in 2 minds atm but I need to make my mind up ASAP bro..haha! Thanks again for the great video. It's helping me out a heck of a lot bro so keep up the brilliant work here.. Salute from IRELAND!

Can i install 4 stepper motors with this?

will this expantion bord run nema 23 motors

can i make 3d printer with arduino uno, cnc shield v3..

My motor was not taking micro step

Hye how are you. I hope you are doing well. I have a problem in my mini cnc pen plotter. I use arduino uno, cnc shield v3, driver4988 and servo 90 mini motor. Problem is that my pen is not moving up or down while signal and current is passing through servo. Plz help me. Thanks

If I try to add a folder instead a ZIP then it just opens the folder instead import it. Somehow it does not work like shown.

HI, Thank you very much for this video. I have follewed each step to install Grbl but when I try to upload it to the Arduino Uno, I have a n error message as " avrdude : stk500_recv() programmer is not responding" so after 10 attemps, I have a final message as " Uploading problem". I verified the type of Arduino and the port, I think there is no problem for that. Someone can help me please?

U said something about the Arduino not being able to take more than 12V? I need to watch this video again but I thought u said that bro. What is the reason for that of u don't mind me asking. I'm new to all of this so I'm being very geni=uine when I ask what may seem very stupid questions.. Would very much appreciate if u have the time to drop and answer bro. I have a few Arduino but I don't want to burn them out. Lol

better make video how install to linuxcnc debian.

Z servo for prn not working . any check point

Am facing the problem as error occurred while uploading the sketch

bro my motor was vibrating not moving what can i do
