CNC Sketch

Coming Soon. A sketch for controlling the winder via serial port is being developed. This will turn the AlbaWinder into a complete CNC machine. Your contribution is welcome if you wish to help.

The Control Circuit Board

The control circuit board host the following:
- Atmega 328 MCU (arduino)
- FTDI to USB adaptor.
- 6x push buttons
- 1x potentiometer
- 2x A4988 Stepper motor controller
- 1x i2c connector
- Power supply with switch (30Volts max)
