Hi CNC brains!
I need some help / advice to set up a machine to run a USB SmoothStepper and a Gecko g540 breakout board. I want to buy the frame of the CNC 6040 from Yoocnc 3020 3040 6040 series - carving-cnc.com WITHOUT the control box, motors and cables etc.
Now I don't have much electrical knowledge, so after looking for a plug-and-play replacement for the YooCNC controller and not finding one, I have found the Gecko g540, as well as the USB Smoothstepper. I would like to work these two products together to make a very accurate control system.
Is it possible to build a system that uses both of these products? Is it going to be too difficult to set up for someone who knows how to solder circuits but is not a circuit designer?
Any help you guys have would be awesome, I was not impressed with the controller box on the YooCNC 3020!!
Thanks in advance,
Mike
