The 4-Axis CNC Motherboard Compact Edition is designed for the demanding users of small CNC machines. It features a 240MHz dual-core 32-bit processor, USB connectivity and the ability to generate up to 120kHz pulses to simultaneously drive four stepper motors.
The four Terminal Switch and Probe inputs are opto-isolated to keep out any external electromagnetic interference while all other outputs such as Spindle PWM, Spindle Enable, Mist and Flood Coolant operate on a stable and clean 5VDC current.
The 4-Axis CNC Motherboard Compact Edition comes equipped with four DRV8825 drivers capable of driving Nema 17 and Nema 23 stepper motors that operate from 24V to 36V and require a maximum current of 2Amps.
Our 4-Axis motherboard is compatible with many GCode Sender applications for the GRBL firmware. We recommend using Focus.
