Hello All,
I am thinking of building a CNC machine that is standalone, no PC. This would be a small desktop machine. Looking to use the Arduino to send the gcode to a TinyG. I currently have the TinyG and works great when connected to a PC.
My thought was to use an Arduino MEGA with a USB host shield and SD card. I can use the Arduino to take input from the switches (Start, Stop, Etc.) and possibly a LCD screen. LCD screen is not required but would look nice.
I can store the gcode on the SD card, SneakerNet it to the CNC and run it.
Possible?
Suggestions?
