This sketch offer the possibility to control the winder with the button provided by the control board.
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
We will now use the StepperUNO as the control board for the Albawinder. Previous board has been deprecated.
See more details on this link StepperUNO Control Board
- 2 Motor control output (Generic or embedded A4988 drivers)
- 4 Digital Input/Output
- 2 Analog Input (can be used as digital I/O)
- 1 USB port
- 1 Power port (2.1mm Jack)
- 1 Potentiometer control
- 6 push buttons.
- 16x2 LCD screen
Carrier position sensors
Two optical sensors are mounted behind the carrier to detect position. This is used to change the direction of the carrier when reaching the end of the coil. They are manually adjustable using the knob screw.
