Electronics

The MicroMill is driven by an Arduino UNO (clone) with a Protoneer CNC shield from Protoneer (Ebay). The board is equipped with 3 Stepstick stepper drivers. Only the Z-axis driver has a cooler installed.

Connected are:

  • Power supply on Blue screw terminal
  • Green button to Resume
  • Red button to Abort
  • Door to E-Stop
  • Yellow wire to SpnEn (single wire on white pin)
  • Red/Black wire to 5V/GND (between Blue screw terminal and reset)
  • 3 stepper motors (X, Y, Z) to 4-pin connectors next to stepper drivers
