Estlcam is very cheap (around 50Eur) and a perfect software to start with.Īfter you have prepared your file in a CAM software you can send it to the machine software (Mach3 or Eslcam if you use Arduino)

ESTLCAM ARDUINO PRO
An experienced user will use CAM software’s like Vcarve Pro or Fusion 360, but if you are new to all this and don’t know what to use, I recommend a very simple software called Estlcam ( With Estlcam you can cut both 2D and 3D. With the CAM software you will set the type of end mill, end mill diameter, depth, thickness of material to be cut, etc.
ESTLCAM ARDUINO HOW TO
A CAM software gives instructions to the machine how to cut your part. STL file, you need to prepare it with a CAM software. You can choose which software you like as long as you can save the file in. The work flow looks like this.ĭraw your part in, for example, CorelDRAW, fusion 360 or Google Sketchup. Regardless of whether you built or purchased your machine, you need software to run it. We ship our board’s all over the world, don’t worry, the German post office delivers very reliable.If it’s the first time you cut with a CNC machine, you can read the text below to get started. Of course there is a detailed building instruction.

The control card is delivered as a kit and because only push-through parts are used, it is easy to build.

This is because the Nano is the most sensitive component, the defects range from problems with the 340G chip (serial communication, bottom side Nano) to cold solder joints, problems with the internal pull-up resistors to the ripped out USB port. Unfortunately, experience has shown that when something is defective, it is 80% nano, 15% operational amplifier and 5% optocoupler, which is exactly why we will socket these components. In addition, all SMD components were replaced by push-through parts, more stable and larger screw terminals were used and all inputs and outputs provided by ESTLCAM were exhausted.Īll IC’s with the design DIL and the Nano Vers3 5V are on empty sockets, so that they can be changed without soldering if necessary. In the new REV5.1 version, the Speed and Feed over ride functions were immediately integrated into the board. Some may wonder why we are changing something ?Īt that time we already knew that the solution with the „Override Shield“ for the speed and feed function was only a temporary solution for REV3 and 4. Today I would like to introduce the official successor of the popular CNC control card for ESTLCAM. ESTLCAM ARDUINO CNC Controller REV5.1 Zeige deutsche Version :
