Overview

This is an advanced CNC controller designed to run FluidNC firmware on ESP32. This controller is designed to control a wide variety of of CNC designs. It can handle up to 6 motors for 6 axis machines or gang motors on any axis for machines like XYYZ and XXYYZ type motor arrangements. The firmware never needs to be compiled and can be uploaded and configured and controlled from a web browser.

Features

• 6) Motor connectors for external stepper drivers (5v signals). Each motor has separate step, direction and enable signals. LEDs are on each signal to help with setup.
• (8) Inputs for switches (limits, probes, control)
• Spindles (many type supported). Some multi-spindle arrangements are possible like RS485 & laser on the same machine.
  • RS485 VFD Spindles
  • 0-10V controlled spindles with additional forward and reverse direction signals
  • PWM Speed controllers with optional separate enable signals
  • Relay (on/off) controlled spindles.
  • BESC (Brushless Motor) based spindles
  • Lasers.
• (2) 3A MOSFETs to drive relays, solenoids and valves.
• Unused spindle 5V outputs can be used for any output function (coolant, etc)
• Micro SD card socket for local storage of gcode files
• Module socket for GPIO extenders and Pendant interfaces.
