Just would like to say 🎉after buying your plans, several months ago, i have finally gotten it to the point that i can actually use it. Keep in mind I'm 75 years old and am not the best with computers but ihave watched your videos so many times that my screens are almost etched. Never thought i would own a CNC ,let alone build one. Your plans and videos are the best of anything i have experienced. Now to get a THC and tubing notcher add-ons. Thanks again .

What a brilliant idea! I built my own plasma cutter and after months of chasing interference issues (it was the usb cable!) I decided to put a raspberry pi in the same case as the arduino with a really short usb cable, which works great, and I then use WiFi to access the pi in a headless mode. If only I had thought of this I could have save a couple hundred £!

I searched and searched for connecting an HC-05 and came up with some wide variations on how to do it. This covered everything perfectly. Thank you! Edit: If using Win11 you need to select "Advanced" under "Bluetooth Devices Discovery", toward the bottom of the menu on the Settings page where you are adding the device. Otherwise the HC-06 won't be discovered.

Have you ever considered upgrading to something like a MKS DLC32? It's a low cost (~$15-20) ESP32 based cnc controller capable of running the Fluidnc, a grbl extension written for the ESP32. You can communicate with it over wifi or bluetooth and it has a micro sd card slot on board that you can use to store your g-code files. With this you could communicate with and control the machine from any bluetooth or wifi capable device without ever having to load any specialty software on to the device you're using.

Great video! Thanks! I just bought your files to bild my own plasma cutter so this came really handy. One thing though, never plug the Arduino to the charger before you plug it in to the wall. It´s easy to fry it when you do that. Seen it on computers, Arduinos, ... Just a tip. Love this channel! /Jesper (Sweden).

I did set up the Bluetooth conversion but just got to the point of getting it connected to the laptop and it did connect then disconnect every time so I did research and checked everything on the laptop and it seems to be functioning correctly. I even tried the PC and did the same thing. the laptop has other Bluetooth devices and they work fine and I do have 2 of theses HC06 dongles and both disconnect so it is not the devices. Just stuck for the moment with the wireless deal.

Great information. Thanks for sharing. 👍 I am wondering if you removed the processor from the Arduino board if you wouldn't have to go through the reflashing process. I was able to program a XBEE HC-05 Bluetooth module via serial monitor by removing the processor. I didn't have to blank and reflash. Another benefit of going wireless is that there will be less EMI via the USB cable, especially if using an inexpensive imported plasma cutter.

I am having issues with this. The 3.3v doesn't seem to be sufficient power to BT module, however when I plug it into the 5v it works instantly. Not sure how to run this on 5v with the relay also using the 5v as per wiring diagram? Have successfully got the BT module working in BT connection only, but the conundrum is how to supply both as 3.3v not enough and I don't want an extra powerpoint/cable in my build.

Thanks, Jackson, I've been wondering about doing this for my build. The shield I'm using doesn't show rx/tx broken out so I have a message in to the maker. If his board doesn't make them available I'll switch to a different breakout shield. I have a question about the GRBL setting for max X/Y at 1000mm, which is about 40 inches? The table is a little smaller. 😁 I also didn't know you could power the HC05/6 with 3.3V. I've always used a voltage divider on the rx/tx lines. Thanks for more great info on this build!
@jdsgarage7012 жыл бұрын
1000mm is the default setting on GRBL. Table dimensions don't actually mean anything if you don't have soft limits on (we do not) so no reason to change it. You don't actually need the voltage divider is you use the 3.3V supply over the 5V supply
@georgechambers31972 жыл бұрын
Thanks, that's good to know about the soft limits. I guess if you design and cut the parts you know how big they are and can cut accordingly. The HCo5/6 say 3.6V to 6V so I never tried to use one on 3.3V. I sure will now. Thanks for the info!

Hey Jackson, thanks for all the videos and the plans, i am building it and so far everything fits perfectly. I decided to use the bluetooth connection, however I'm not sure whether it would be the best option for me. I purchased my plasma cutter before seeing your project and my cutter is high frequency. Do you think bluetooth is more vulnerable to EMI than usb cable or is it the other way around? Any advice is appreciated. I have installed everything in aluminum box but still able to establish bt connection.

Hello Peter, I am in a similar situation. no pilot plasma cutter, bought before thinking about making a CNC (every pilot plasma I see on sale on the net are said to have HF ignition as well, anyway does it change anyhing to the noise, to have a pilot or not pilot ignition ?)
