Finally got my butt in gear, this year upgrade is based on a new controller, taking advantage of higher voltage and better stepper drivers. Also trying to improve my controller, not only aesthetically but also functionality.
Just starting laying things up, its the little things that take time…
The internals will consist of:
- Arduino UNO
- 48V / 400W PSU
- 4x Leadshine DM556 stepper drivers
- 2x step down converters, to step voltage down to 12V and 5V
- 2x relays to trigger Makita and Coolant
- Function buttons, reset switch etc.
The case is 19mm MDF, just using something I had on hand.
