Overview

This was designed to control a wide variety of CNC machines. It can control 6 motors and many spindle and laser types. It is very easy to configure. You never have to compile any software. All configuration, upgrading, etc can be done via web browser. 

Features

  • (6) Motor connectors for external stepper drivers (5v signals). Each motor has separate step, direction and enable signals. LEDs are on each signal to help with setup.
  • (8) Inputs for switches (limits, probes, control, etc)
  • Spindles (many types supported). Some multi-spindle arrangements are possible like RS485 & laser on the same machine.
  • RS485 VFD Spindles
  • 0-10V controlled spindles with additional forward and reverse direction signals
  • PWM Speed controllers with optional separate enable signals
  • Relay (on/off) controlled spindles.
  • BESC (Brushless Motor) based spindles
  • Lasers with PWM and enable
  • (2) 3A MOSFETs to drive relays, solenoids and valves.
  • Unused spindle 5V outputs can be used for any output function (coolant, etc)
  • Micro SD card socket for local storage of gcode files
  • Module socket for GPIO extenders and Pendant interfaces.

Fully open source and well supported.
