Home Solar CNC running on Arduino - CNC Mill Conversion Part 10

This is my first fully CNC'd part with no manual machining & running on Solar energy.
It would normally take me a good few hours to make something like this, but this only took 45 minuets to complete.
The mill has a much longer table now (the X1-105 Long Table from arceurotrade.co.uk) and as such has over 300mm of X-Axis travel.

All this is possible thanks to both the Arduino development platform and ODrives Twin Brush-less DC motor controller that allows for very tight Closed-Loop servo control, capable of 120A max per motor. Check out their page Here: odriverobotics.com/
All the Computer Numeric Control (CNC) is handled by the Arduino Mega and position information fed to the ODrive over serial interface.
The Arduino will eventually be able to follow G-Code directly from an SD card eventually, so I will be able to design in Alibre Design (as I do now), create the G-Code using Fusion 360 and then transfer that code to an SD card ready for the CNC machine.
The Milling machine I am converting is an Axminster Sieg X1 Super Micro Mill Mk2, where this has been extremely reliable over the last 10 years and still has the original spindle motor and drive gears.
The components for each X and Y drive system consist of and AMT102 Rotary Encoder, Continental HTD 5M 15 Belts and pulleys and a Brushless DC Motor (D5065-270KV).

Honestly I could watch you work like this for hours! Looking forward to see the X axis

[@Dev255]

Thank you, there will be more to come 😀

[@astral2040]

Great video and very interesting, nice use of using the Arduino which show you all the details.

[@Dev255]

Thank you, it's proving to be a very useful machine 😀

[@martintruran8469]

Top notch again Neil, you have even convinced me to try o drive!

[@Dev255]

Thank you Martin, just ask if you have a question on the ODrive, their forum is very good, this project is on there too, found Here: discourse.odriverobotics.com/t/turning-a-mill-into-cnc-to-help-with-an-electric-car-conversion

Another first class video showcasing an Excellent job. Well done.

[@Dev255]

Thank you Fred 😁👍

[@jtreg]

so good! not to mention the time crafting the presentation. PhD. 100%

[@Dev255]

Sorry for the late reply, I'm sure I responded to this a year ago, haha. Hope you are well.

[@Build_the_Future]

Looking good.

[@Dev255]

Thank you Eric 👍

[@Vez3D]

Very nice build!!

[@Dev255]

Thank you, it's still going strong 👍

[@AWildNoodle]

Awesome videos! Maybe I missed it in previous videos, but are you using any kind of gcode interpreter?

[@Dev255]

Thank you, I'm just using the Arduino Mega 2560 to interpret the G-Code, although at present this only accepts G00, G01, G02 and G03 and typed in manually. It will be able to interpret from an SD card in the future, but needs more programming first. Here is the latest Sketch for the Arduino if you would like to take a look: github.com/Dev255/Arduino-ODrive-CNC/tree/ArduinoSketch Glad you liked it.
