6 Pack 2.0 External

This is a CNC controller for use with an ESP32 and FluidNC firmware. It uses plug in CNC I/O modules to allow it to control a vast array of external devices, like RS485 Spindles, lasers, coolant devices, etc. Check out my other projects to see what is available.

Features

Control up to 6 external motor drivers. The signals are 5V with enough current to drive opto isolators. You can use 3 to 6 letttered axes (XYZABC) or you can control dual motor axes like XXYYZA.
6 built in opto isolated inputs. This saves you from having to buy an input module. If 6 is not enough you can add install input modules in the CNC I/O module sockets.
2 built in 5V output signals. Each has a status LED.
3 CNC I/O Modules. #1 and #2 use GPIO and can support any module. #3 is output only. RS485, %V Ouput and Relay shown in product image.
Socket for standard ESP32-DevKitC modules in the 2x19 pin formats. It supports both 0.9" and 1.0" wide versions.
6 extra digital outputs on pin headers.
Micro SD card socket.
9VDC to 24VDC power input.
No jumpers or compiling. Everything is setup with a config file. (see attachments for an example)
Full support via Discord or Github Issues

All connections use plug in terminal blocks.

Buying from JLCPCB

You need to buy the following mating connectors from LCSC

(6) Stepper Motor Driver KF2EDGK-3.5-4P C440849

(3) Input/Output KF2EDGK-2.54-6P C577530

(1) Power Input XY2500F-A-5.0-2P LCSC P/N C504904

(3) MOD1-MOD3 12P Female Header LCSC P/N C225509 can be C350303

You also need a ESP32 Module in the 2x19 format ESP32-DevKitC

Alternate Parts

I sugest cloning the project and testing any alternates for fit
