Arduino CNC Shield Tutorial - Control Stepper Motors using CNC Shield V3.0

In this video, we are going to see how to control multiple stepper motors using an arduino and CNC shield board V3.0.

this CNC shield eliminates the need of a breadboard to control multiple stepper motors

Download the stepper test code and upload it to arduino.

download grblmain library and add to arduino via add .zip library
install GRBL controller and connect to arduino by selecting correct COM port

Thanks for the grbl-controller, it is saving lot of time in troubleshooting.

Thank You! I'm using this shield for a wire wrapping machine and needed to know how to enable it, you answered my question. The enable pin doesn't have to jumper to ground though, it is also connected to D8 on the Uno, so you can use code to enable/disable the stepper drivers if you want to rather than having them always enabled.

The first set of drivers I put in had a bad driver and it was enabling the others but the stepper it was driving wouldn't move. When I figured out I had a bad driver, I put what I thought were good drivers in but nothing worked anymore. I think I made the mistake of putting drivers in before I used a multimeter to trace which pin went where and all the driver enable pins showed as being straight to ground pins on the Uno so I figured they must just be always enabled. Yes, I'm stupid but a lot of people just short the enable pins to ground anyway rather than coding the stepper enable pins.

This was a great video! Easy to follow along to and very simple. I've learned a lot.

[AFATstudios]

i learned everything i needed thanks for making such a great and detailed explanation

[hemankrakesh]

i want to use 4 nema 17 with these same drivers can you tell me how to calculate total current and voltage and how to choose the correct power supply as required. And also that enabling of enable pin keep the shield and arduino isolated ? could be so helpful !

[DownhillAllTheWay]

I have the shield and the Uno, but I don't see any FET transistors on it - so I guess the stepper currents are driven directly from the chips?
What size of stepper will they drive? NEMA 23?

Hello, I'm using your stepper test code, to make an inexpensive toy, since I had bipolar steppers in hand. I was wondering how to control the rotation speed, in the code, using your stepper code test script, and the V3 module. I'm using all 4 outputs, from the V3 module, including the A output.

Bro you just save my b.tech final year project. Thanks a lot bro.

[MaxMakerChannel]

Thanks a lot! That is a great overview.

[SantaDragon]

Thanks, this is great with the GRBL Controller. I know GRBL from my Atomstack Laser.

[bricoletout]

Thanks for this great tutorial, i'd like to ask just one question: can i use only two stepper motors?
Thanks in advance

[DennisMurphey]

Thank Youi am converting a Dremel Drill Press to 3 axis CNC Mini Mill. This was a big help.

[muhammadtalhaahmedyasmeen]

Hi sir, which power supply is that you are using? how much voltage is it

[crispy-k]

I just got a complete CNC machine that might have a fried board. So i've been thinking about getting to learn to use Arduino.
Maybe i can replace the "electronics" with an Arduino instead of having to buy new parts for 1000$ :)

Thanks for the vid, i will look more into this!

[jestonidulay]

great video . i really appreciate it . may i ask about the A driver? it wasnt used in the video. maybe you can instruct me how to use the A driver as a stepper motor controller . and do you know how to make all the stepper motors run together simultaneously? id really be thankful about it

[sanketss]

well this was neat simple compact and exactly what I wanted to know. thanks a lot.

[yoboy]

help me ! i want to contro, l 4 stepper motor in one ardino Which motor controller will be used?

[dprintiraq]

Thanks for the tutorial, could you help me with cnc shield? I need to make 1 stepper moto moves a certain angle in a certain amount of time, for example 1 rotation in 1 hour.. i appraciat your support

[pythonner]

bro will the cnc sheild work with uno esp8266(wemos d1) board

[kashyaphun]

i am using CNC shield since last 3 years and i never connect enable
& ground to each other and even it works fine. so why I should connect or jump this 2 port?
