CNCPlotter stepper motor controller

Description

All gone, sorry.

This is part of “Operation Make-Space”, in which I get rid of things that are taking up storage space and I probably don’t need anymore. Please do NOT share the URL for this product. It’s a special offer just for my Patreon supporters.

The CNCPlotter is a complete, self-contained Arduino Leonardo compatible board with 2 onboard stepper motor drivers. The board was designed by Luke Weston to control the “HackCNC” simple CNC/plotter kit, but it’s a fantastic general purpose board for any project that uses stepper motors. You can use it as the brain of your next robotics project.

Comes as a partial kit. All SMT parts are fitted and the PCB has been tested. It just needs some through-hole parts and headers to be installed, and the LCD to be plugged in.

• ATmega32U4 MCU running the Arduino Leonardo bootloader
• 2 x stepper motor controllers suitable for 4-wire bipolar steppers
• 1 x servo controller output
• “Home” switch inputs: perfect for position zeroing or travel limit detection
• 20×4 LCD
• Micro-USB socket
• MicroSD card slot
• Serial communications header
• Header for NintendoDS touchscreen (not included)
• Comes with an LCD module and USB cable
• Program it using the Arduino IDE
