Why Is handling Stepper Motor And CNC Shield Over Arduino So Famous?

In the world of automation, we have to automate many things, in that list accuracy matters, with the help of automation we can achieve a good amount of accuracy and the CNC is the example of that one.

What is "CNC"?

CNC stands for Computerized Numerical Control, in short, the activity controlled by a computer with the help of numerical values.

With the help of these numbers, the position of the motors is varied, with the help of these numbers we can move the motors which specific position by giving instruction by a computer in form of a number. This number is known as "G code".

What is the stepper motor?

the stepper motor is a type of motor which gives us a benefit that we can control its position by giving it a special type of input which is a series of ones and zeros. Depending on the motor size, load capacity, the step needed for one rotation, depending on these factors we can see a lot of stepper motors in the market

How to control the stepper motor?

The easiest method to control a stepper motor we have to connect a microcontroller to it. Which acts as a brain for the stepper motor and listen to the instructions from a computer and act on it in the form of moving from one point to another via rotating a shaft of stepper motor

How to control a stepper motor via a CNC shield?

For this, you can refer to the following video or you can follow the instructions in the link given for the files. Just download the files and follow the instruction on it.

What else we can do with this CNC shield?

We get four motor drivers in this CNC shield so we can control for stepper motors with one shield. So we can make a 4 Axis CNC and with the use of that, we can build 4 Axis 3D/4D printer or a carving set up for wood. Also, we can make a two-axis plotter to cut thermocol or a paper in a specific dimension with controlled instructions. anything you can think of with the help of 4 Axis we can make that with it.

To run stepper motor we need Arduino to give the instruction to the CNC shield so they will able to pass the instruction to the motor drivers and table pass the instruction to the stepper motor with the help of this setup we can automate the stepper motor to do some task like drawings or cutting something with accuracy
