    Easy CNC

    Modular CNC software for Arduino controller

    The goal of the project is the realization of a modular firmware that allows to control a CNC machine with different utensils. For instance, a CNC with a drill, with few changes can become a plotter with a pen or cutting machine to cut cardboard or stickers. In order to do that, we want project a CNC router with a mechanism that allows a fast utensil change and a controlling firmware which can use different utensils changing some configuration parameters.

    motion5

    Specialised variant of GRBL focused on motion of up to five axes

    motion 5 is a specialised variant of GRBL which is focused on motion of up to five CNC axes and laser processing instead of milling. It supports ATMega MCUs running with up to 20 MHz and provides jitter-free pulses with a frequency of up to 38 kHz. Wherever usage and handling of motion5 is different to original GRBL, this is described in Wiki. For the G-code commands please note that motion5 supports more axes which are named "A" and "B". So a GRBL-command "G1X10.0Y20.0Z10.0" which moves its three axes would be e.g. "G1X10.0Y20.0Z10.0A20.0B30.0" in motion5 to move all five axes.
