Interesting project I have been also looking at using an arm to build a cnc controller with a gcode interperter. Is this project open source? Can I get involved? Cheers DeWayne UKby dewayne - RepRap Host
Thanks for the input. When I download the Generation 3 Source code there are two directories. SanguinoMaster/ gcode/ The etruder directory for the slave is clear but the SanguinoMaster/ and gcode/ where is this firm ware to go since there is only 1 board. Looking closer at the firmware the: SanguinoMaster/ == for the 644P chip gcode/ == for the aurdion 169 When I try and compile theby dewayne - RepRap Host
There are 3 file groups I have been looking at: 1- Chris Meighan - has wrote a gcode interperter with constant velocity 2- 5D-Gcode for I think Generation 2 - Snaguino Board (Arduino 168) 3- reprap-gen3-firmware-1.5 (Sanguino) It would be nice to build a cnc router/milling machine that one could remove the router and replace it with an extruding head. Neat!!! My question is what code would beby dewayne - RepRap Host
Hello Guys, I am interested in using the Genewration 3 Sanguino board and firmware to control a CNC Router table is this possible? I would than like to replace the router with a Print Head to print parts. I also have been looking at CMEIGHAN GCODE Interperter as well. Which firmware would I be best to use.

Hello, Can someone help me out what is the difference between the new Sanguino Gen 3 firmware and Chris's Gcode interperter? Will the Generation 3 Firmware do machining on a cnc subtractive process? Cheers DeWayneby dewayne - RepRap Host
Could some one please email me or post there exact files and libs the are using on the Arduino, perhaps I can gleam some info there. It would be helpful thanks. DeWayne (UK) dyoung(at)ppsc(DOT)netby dewayne - RepRap Host
Hi, Thanks for the response, I am not using the L927 board, i am using a motion conroll driver board that I can select form 1 to 64 microsteps per step pulse. for now I have tried 1:1 and 16:1 ratios. In the latest firmware can anyone tell me where you set the max speed of the motors, as the ver 1.3 i have downloaded seems to have it missing on the Arduino.

Ian you asked how I was sending the GCODE. I have weote a Windows Vista App in C# and VIsual Studio 2008, to import a GCODE file, syntax check it and then forward it on to the Aurdiuno board. Seems to work on the desk top but have yet to try cuttting anything with it yet. I need to get the feed problems sorted out first. From the best I can tell the Ver 1.3 firmware does not do half stepiby dewayne - RepRap Host
Hello GUys, I am setting up an Ardruino Board with version 1.3 firmware. For starters I am going to use te board to drive a small cnc router table. Berfore I build the RepRap. I am using stepper driver modules that go from 1 Step to 64 Step I have chose to use 16 as my microstepping rate. 400 step 1.8 degree bipolar motors. Here is the problem no matter what I do the motors run very very veryby dewayne - RepRap Host
