The following are a few of the shield / boards that are compatible with GRBL. GRBL is G-Code interpreter that is able to run on small Atmel Micro-controllers like the controllers used on Arduino Boards.
Using GRBL (software) and these micro-controllers(Hardware) makes it very easy and affordable to build your own Computer Numerated Controlled Machines(CNC) .
Arduino CNC Shield – 100% GRBL compatible (USD25+ Exluding Arduino, Pololu Drivers , Shipping Included)
- Up to 4 Axis’s. (4th Axis can clone the X, Y, Z axis’s or run of the D12-D13 pins)
- Compatable with Pololu A4988 type drivers including the latest DRV8825 drivers.
- 12-36V Input Voltage. (Only the DRV8825 can run at 36V)
- Jumper to adjust micro stepping. Up to 1/16 micro stepper with A4988 and 1/32 with the DRV8825 drivers )
- Breakout pins for :
- End stops , 2 per axis.
- Spindle and Coolant control.
- Abort / Hold / Resume
- E-Stop
