Good day. I do hope I am at the right place for asking some newbie questions. I am busy building my second CNC machine, but with an added twist. The first one was quite easy by copying from an original machine and it works like a charm, but new adding a new feature to he new machine, I am strugglin…

[image] a3jan: you can run as many drivers from an Arduino Uno as you like (some mention from 16 to 3000), ... if you have enough pins for this. Arduino Uno has a quite few pins for big projects. First of all - please show what the schematic you have now. And describe, how you will control 5…

Please post a schematic of the current machine that you want to add to. Please post technical data on the current motors, drivers and servos and the proposed new motor and driver. I suggest that you have a moderator move this to your own thread instead of tagging on to someone else's thread.

Thank you for your feedback. So on the current wiring I have the following: Y axis - 2 x Nema 23 stepper motors - one motor with reverse wiring - 1 TB6600 driver X axis - 1 x Nema 23 stepper motor - 1 x TB 6600 driver Z axis - 1 x Nema 17 stepper motor - 1 x TB 6600 driver A axis - 1 x Nema 23 S…

interesting pictures, but it don't say much about your circuit

I have not yet drawn the circuit layout but will try my best to get it done!

It's mostly a matter of what you want to connect to the Arduino and how many pins you need. The Arduino UNO has 20 I/O pins. You need 2 pins (Step. Direction) or 3 pin (Step, Direction, Enable) per stepper driver. You can have 6 or 10 steppers without additional hardware... if you don't need any o…
