Hello Friends..

I´m looking for the OS for the Arduino and the RAMPS 1.4 Controll?
Where do I find the files for use the Arduino as PCP Mill?

Greethings,

Stefan

Hi
Since two years ago, I've used Marilin firmware for my Micro CNC machine.
I'm using my machine for CNC and sometimes for 3D Printer as changin tool head to FDM extruder.

So Mariln firmware has no problem as CNC controller.
Even though it has some limitation as like spindle speed control and coolant control, however, I think, it is useful for DIY Makers as cheapst solution.

Hi,
I also use Marlin for my CNC based on ShapeOko 2.
To have more control, I modified the Marlin.cpp to add some Gcodes.

I use a Kress 220V spindle. To turn on / off the spindle I use a 24V relais. It is connected to D9 (FAN) of the RAMPS.
In the Marlin code I added the M commands to turn on/off the spindle on the D9 output.

If you use MOTHERBOARD 35 you have a second FAN output on D10.
I use this to controll an airvalve for the mist coolant. In addition I hat to add some code to control the D10 with the M commands.

If your willing to change a little bit code in Marlin, it's quite sufficient to run a CNC with it in conjunction with a RAMPS 1.4.

Hey my-home-fab have you had any luck controlling the spindle speed in marlin?
Thanx

Another question, are you writing the Gcode to a SD card and running independently or are you streaming the code with something like grbl Controller? I've been looking at grbl / grbl Controller but it could use a few more features to move it from being OK to being really good.
