[Q] about Gcode CNC Demo?

[Anonymous]

Hello All!

I have question about “GcodeCNCDemo2AxisV1“!
I have a “Arduino Mega 2560” with “Adafruit Motor Shield v1“, I uploaded
GcodeCNCDemo2AxisV1 code on my arduino and use UniversalGcodeSender v1.0.5 for G-Code send to
board, but not working any X or Y axis! ?
I am grateful that can help me!

Thank you

Can you share a picture of your wiring, please?

I have never tried the shield with the MEGA but it should be the same.

Hello
I think the wires are connected correctly, because I try with some code tested and for example:

#include 

#include 



AF_Stepper motor1(200, 1);

AF_Stepper motor2(200, 2);



void forwardstep1() {

motor1.onestep(FORWARD, SINGLE);

}

void backwardstep1() {

motor1.onestep(BACKWARD, SINGLE);

}

void forwardstep2() {

motor2.onestep(FORWARD, SINGLE);

}

void backwardstep2() {

motor2.onestep(BACKWARD, SINGLE);

}



AccelStepper stepper1(forwardstep1, backwardstep1);

AccelStepper stepper2(forwardstep2, backwardstep2);



void setup()

{

stepper1.setMaxSpeed(200.0);

stepper1.setAcceleration(100.0);

stepper1.moveTo(24);



stepper2.setMaxSpeed(300.0);

stepper2.setAcceleration(100.0);

stepper2.moveTo(50);



}



void loop()

{

if (stepper1.distanceToGo() == 0)

stepper1.moveTo(-stepper1.currentPosition());

stepper1.run();

stepper2.run();

}

and is very good any axis work!
and what can i do now?!

When you send commands from inside arduino serial window,

do you send line feeds?

do you include ; at the end of commands?

Yes, very good point! WORKING!
Before i try with another g-code sender tested and now i testing in serial monitor for Arduino software and working.
I have another question, how I can send serial g-code direct to board?
For example, I have export g-code file xxxxx.nc or another g-code files format, how can I run this file on my board?
With which g-code software sender?

Thank you

Gcodesender should work.

I use serial monitor on Arduino Software connect ok, can see Help Menu. Try input command “G0 X5 Y5;” but motor not run. Try command “G92 X5 Y5;” and then “M114;”, value of 2 axis X Y change to 5 but no motor run.

try without “;”. also make sure serial windows option “send line ending” is on.
