To cut the 45 degree line as on above image, the instructions would be as below. MoveX(1); MoveY(1); MoveX(1); MoveY(1); MoveX(1); MoveY(1); MoveX(10); I have wrote code for above situation. I have a little problem. what happen when routing a circle (pad of a component) or a non 45 degree line. Can...

what would be the correct way of calculating the number of steps required to move lead screw to a 1mm or 1inch, L = ? × r (when ? is in radians) L = (? × ?/180) × r (when ? is in degrees) ? - step angle r - radius of the wheel connected to stepper motor L - distance travelled or L = X × Y X - lead s...

If I need to do microstepping I have to change the circuitry as well right. I think I have to use a DAC for that. and some changes to the coding. is that correct

If you consider above example, to cut a line with 45 degree angle, with 1mm accurate steppers, you will get the cut as on the top image. When accuracy is higher (step angle is lower) Basic two operations of a stepper motor are either full step or half step. To achieve this high accuracy(to reduce t...

Thanks for the good explanation.

Simultaneous movement of x, y, z motors are not essential. But you can add some simple mathematics to move the motors quickly with diagonal movements I think this method works only for the cnc drill machine, in order to build a cnc router/milling machine X and Y steppers should drive simultaneously...

how to write pic code to control 3 steppers of a 3 axis cnc machine.

can you give a schematic of a stepper motor controller which do not need a micro controller.

can someone tell me how to write the firmware to micro-controller to drive the stepper motors.Iam going to use mach3
