Hi. I want to build Robotic arm controlled that uses stepper motors for movement and I want to control it with arduino and proper drivers, however I want to control movement of robot with gcode and I´m not sure how to translate gcode into proper movement of stepper motors. I want to build this as my personal project
Thank you for help
Give the controller a Gcode interpreter. Gcode.h
This may help: how do I control a stepper with g code - #12 by nathancamp
How many steppers? Grbl is a very popular stepper controller that translates G code to stepper motions.
Universal Gcode sender is a popular sender (front end) used to send Gcode files to Grbl and to control a machine.
4 stepper motors, but it looks like industrial robotic arm, so to move in x axis 3 motors have to move to keep same height of end effector and I have problems with writing program to reach that goal. Any ideas ?
I don't really know anything about it, but I see the term inverse kinematics mentioned in reference to robot arm positioning. A search for "inverse kinematics robot arm arduino" brings up lots of pages that may have information that can help.
thanks
