The images were taken from the linked grbl and Tindie pages. Hats off to the innovative grbl open-source community.īTW, the only productive comment I might be qualified to make to anyone designing a break out board for an electrically noisy environment (and do correct me if you know that this is a waste of time – Mr Kurt? ), is that rather than having a single resistor in series with the LED of an opto-coupler for an isolated 12V or 5V input, I would split the resistor in two equal halves and put one in each lead to the opto-coupler led to prevent noise from having a low-resistance route onto the pcb (down the non-resistor connection).īrookwood Design’s Teensy 4.1 CNC board on Tindie The reason phil-barret is important, is that, as Brookwood Design, phil-barrett has already sold hundreds ( Update: almost 600, see comment below) of a similar, well-received, CNC breakout board ( right) for the powerful (600MHz Cortex-M7) Teensy 4.1 MCU-on-module – which will control up to five axes and is available as a partial kit though Tindie. It looks like ‘phil-barrett’ is co-operating, and developing a breakout board called PicoCNC that will accept a Raspberry Pi Pico and convert its IO to the correct voltages for driving four stepper controllers plus ancillaries, as well as opto-isolating inputs from the CNC machine and handling the Pico’s power supply. The community has already ported it to multiple processors, and ‘terjeio’ is developing a branch aimed at Raspberry Pi Pico board, making specific use of its use the novel PIO serial data co-processors built into the on-board Raspberry Pi’s RP2040 MCU to make appropriate signals. Please correct me in the comments if I have got this wrong. ![]() And being smaller, the grblHAL hardware can now be located right next to the stepper drivers, keeping the fast pulses within short local connections. In my limited understanding, a PC (or a Raspberry Pi) will still be needed to send instructions to grblHAL, but this can be over a less taxing standard USB or Ethernet connection to the grblHAL hardware. ![]() GrblHAL is in two parts: an easy-to-port hardware abstraction layer (where the HAL in the name comes from) and an instruction-reading number-crunching core ( diagram right).Īlthough below the radar for many ‘serious’ CNC users – more used to Mach4, Mach3 or LinuxCNC on PCs – my guess is that grblHAL will rapidly get noticed when people realise they no longer need export high rate pulses from a PC right next to the milling machine or router. From the CNC mechanics point of view: grblHAL-based hardware can output many more step-and-direction-pulses per second than grbl-on-AVR, to more than three stepper motors. ![]()
