CNC Cyclone PCB Factory: boards and other – Part 6

There are a lot of thing that we can add to the CNC, here I select something to show that I think It’s interesting.

Leds

I add 220ohom resistor directly to the led.

Variable speed splindle

If you want use a variable speed splindle you must use a mosfet to control It, here an example schema connection.

Mosfet can go very hot, so remember to add heat sink.

You can find here IRFZ44 - IRLZ34N IRLZ44N - IRF744N

Transistor schema

As described I use a transistor to activate some module to prevent error for power consumption.

You can find here AliExpress

Power supply

I use a simple 12v 10A power supply, and I use 78xx to regulate input. I use 7812 to regulate input of Arduino, and 7805 to power leds and module, because Arduino can’t power all device.

It’s important to add heat sink, I use old heat sink of old PC where I do an M3 hole with a screw.

You can find here AliExpress SMD (AMS1117) - AliExpress 3.3v (LM1117) - AliExpress 5v (7805) - AliExpress 9v (7809)AliExpress 12v (7812) - AliExpress 3.3v TO-92 (78L33)

Voltage divider

It’s important use correct voltage for signal if you need to do long running communication.

Need more pins

You need more pins to connect all, I create 2 service board to help this.

This boards are very usefully and simple.

Wiring

Take your case and start to add all:

• 

• 

Remember the schema of wiring connection must be integrated with service board that I create to prevent all the problem I encountered.

To connect all I use a dupont and Header pin, very versatile instrument.

• 

• 

• 

The machine get a lot of vibration so when you made al junctions and you test all, fix all with some hot glue.

Case

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

I use as enclousure an old ITX desktop case with fired power supply, and the result is in the photo.

Thanks
