This week I have worked on interfacing and programming the stepper motors for the gantry. We are now able to send commands to our motors through GRBL gcode using the Universal Gcode Sender. This serves as a testing platform to ensure that we can move our motors to the desired locations. There were issues with some of our hardware but after debugging I found that the issue was that one of the driver potentiometers was damaged.
This week I will be finding the gcode commands needed for each square position as well as begin developing a way to continuously send gcode to the CNC shield.
