Je vous propose de vous donner quelques tuyaux pour la réalisation d'une CNC avec Arduino et GRBL. J'ai déjà réalisé ma CNC, mon graveur laser et mon imprimante 3D e vous mettrait donc quelques photos. La mécanique Concernant la partie mécanique, je pense que vous avez tous votre idée et surement un budget. Voici des idées de montage Ma première CNC bois, alu et tôle (ne faites pas attention au bordel lol) Pour la réalisation de celle-ci, j'ai utilisé des coulisses de tiroirs supportant 35Kgrs, des tiges filetées standard de 8, des moteurs NEMA 23 basiques et des 2M542 et drivers. La broche est une KRESS FME1, malgré une ossature et des guides pas vraiment prévus pour ce genre d'utilisation, j'ai fait des tas de choses comme la structure de mon laser en plexy. Quelques réalisations avec cette machine Voici quelques détails mécaniques de ma dernière fraiseuse CNC Désolé pour les clopes lol !!! J'éspère que cela va vous donner des idées !!! L'électronique Le choix concernant cette partie est assez délicat car les drivers doivent supporter la puissance des moteurs, certains drivers ont tendance a sauter des pas lorsque la machine force un peu. Voici le modèles les plus répandus pour arduino Très connu, il est constitué d'un circuit ULN2003 qui ne sert qu'a permettre a Arduino de piloter des sorties jusqu'a 500mA. Le code permute les deux enroulement l'un après l'autre a une certaine fréquence. On peut réaliser des choses sympa mais ne conviens pas pour une CNC. Celui-ci est semblable a celui-ci dessus mais plus puissant donc idem pas top pour une CNC a moins de lui adjoindre un deuxième module. Easy driver est déjà un bon départ pour des petits moteurs jusqu'a 0.7A. Il est composé d'un circuit de puissance et permet de gérer les moteurs pas a pas avec simplement deux fils DIR et STEPS Le dernier né qu'on retrouve actuellement un peu partout et surtout sur les imprimantes 3D. Il existe également avec un petit dissipateur de température. Malgré sa petite taille, il permet de piloter des moteurs jusqu’à 2A. Pour ce dernier driver, il existe des cartes qui sont en fait des supports et adaptation pour carte Arduino MEGA, celle-ci évite simplement le câblage a réaliser entre les drivers et l'Arduino. Sur la photo on voit les drivers enfichés dessus et la MEGA en-dessous. Un exemple de câblage de moteur avec easydriver Nous verrons un peu plus tard les programmes de pilotage des moteurs pas a pas avec Arduino. Allons directement a la partie la plus intéressante de ce sujet. Le schéma de câblage Ici, nous ne sommes pas dans le cas d'une imprimante 3D qui gère les différents élements chauffants ainsi que le moteur de l'extrudeur. Une carte UNO suffit donc amplement. pour la gestion de moteurs et fins de courses. J'utilise des drivers A4988 avec des moteurs NEMA 17. Comme vous pouvez le constater, il n'y a pas beaucoup de câblage a réaliser. J'ai réalisé un petit circuit imprimé du style shield qui va s'enficher directement sur la carte UNO. Le typon Un petit double face et le tour est joué. Programme Test de GRBL Dans la vidéo ci-dessous, vous pouvez voir le fonctionnement ( ce montage a été réalisé pour un laser donc pas de Z), la led représente le fonctionnement du laser. Des tas de questions et problèmes !! 1) Le meilleur compromis pour le pilotage de la CNC avec GRBL est GRBLcontroler, je l'utilise depuis quelques années maintenant et je n'ai jamais eu de problèmes. La version la mieux aboutie est la 3.6.1 2) Pour configurer la machine, ne pas passer par le mode configuration de GRBLcontroler car souvent les paramètre ne sont pas envoyés dans la mémoire flash de l'arduino. Préférer d'envoyer les paramètres un par un en ligne de commande. exemple : $0 = 40 (pas par mm axe x) etc....

A laser engraving machine, is a tool that uses lasers to engrave an object. To build this tool I've used two old CD-ROM writer that lays around in my garage. The X/Y positioning system it is build using the CD-ROM motor assembly. For the engraving laser i use the CD-ROM writer laser. With this hardware the engraving area are will be almost 38mm x 38mm. I know, there is nothing new in the project i posted here, this is just my implementation of a pretty usefull tool. Warning! Laser diodes drive are emitting visible and invisible laser radiation and they are extremely dangerous! Their light can permanently damage the eyes. You must never look into the working diode even without the lens or point it on a reflective surface. Laser beam can cause burns or fire. This is usually a Class IIIb laser. Everything you do at your own risk. The laser used is a red laser diode, taken apart from the DVD-ROM writer optics. It should be 100mA. In CD-ROM and DVD-ROM you could also find IR driver, DVD laser writer diode will be a little more powerfull than the CD one. Laser diode usually has three pins, one is the common ground, laser and photodiode cathode (-), one the laser diode anode (+), the other is the monitor photodiode anode(+). If the diode you are using has no mark, and you do not know the diode pinout, you have to find the laser cathode and anode. One simple method I use is to power up the diode with a 1.8 to 2.2v current, just for a little amount of time, let's say 1s, if it sucks current, that wiring is the laser diode pinout. Laser diode has to be drive with a proper driver, to run mine, i've used a small and cheap LM358 based adjustable driver, capable of 10mA to 400mA, it also comes with a TTL input pin to enable or disable the laser. You could also use a LM317 to build a simple laser driver, there are many schematics around here, that exaplains how to build one. A standard 80mm x 80mm pc brushless fan is installed to clear the smoke, this prevents the laser optics lens to be clouded. The two motors are small stepper, to drive the motors, two EasyDriver stepper driver are used. EasyDriver is a Allegro A3967 based driver board. Motors are powered at 5 volts. Once again, if you do not know the motors wiring, you have just have to pay attention to pair each coil and then connect to the EasyDriver motor output. If direction is inverted, invert the coil wiring, or just setup grbl to invert the axis direction. The microcontroller used here is an ATmega328p running at 16Mhz. I've used an Arduino Mini board, even if the software does not use the Arduino framework. The software used is grbl, available at http://github.com/grbl/grbl, which is a powerfull yet opensource g-code parser. I'm using grbl version grbl v0.8c (ATmega328p, 16mhz, 9600). You just have to upload the firmware using your favorite uploader, the grbl wiki page drive you on how to do this step. On the grbl wiki page you could also find any other information about command and software setup. Commands to the engraving machine are sent through UART. When you assembly your harware, pay attention to build it making X normal to the Y axis. The two direction has to be perpendicular, or your engraving will has distorsion. Below you should find the schematics i'm using. One you have connect and upload the grbl firmware to your microcontroller, you could use terminal software, or a grbl controller to setup your board. I'm using Grbl Controller to setup and send command to grbl, but you can also use a simple terminal. Below you can find the grbl configuration parameters i changed, basically what i've changed here is: Set step/mm to setup the correct motor distance to run (a common step/mm value for CD-ROM motor should 53.333): $0=53.333 (x, step/mm) $1=53.333 (y, step/mm) Set the accelleration value to 100: $8=100.000 (acceleration, mm/sec^2) Enabled the homing cycle: $17=1 (homing cycle, bool) If you need to invert axis direction, "Step port invert mask, int:binary" is the paramenter you have to touch. Those are the most common inversion, but if you need other inversion, look at the grlb wiki for this parameter: $6=32 (invert x axis) $6=64 (invert y axis) $6=96 (invert x and y axis) To test it, just send the X10 Y10 command, or use the Grbl Controller rows, you should see a 10mm movement on each axis. Also check the "spindle on" command power your laser on and off. Now you could be able to send g-code drawing to your engraver. There are a lot of software you could use to build g-code draw, the one I use the InkScape. The working are for this plotter is 38mm x 38mm, so setup your project area to this dimension. Once you have you path, then you could select the path you want to engrave, and transform it using the InkScape laser engraver extension. Just copy the extension on your extension inkscape folder, restart inkscape, and use that to build your g-code file. Once you have your g-code file, you could send it to grbl using Grbl Controller, or other software like Universal-G-Code-Sender. Notes read risk disclaimer excuse my bad english
