That’s the idea behind this Arduino-based measuring jig for fabricating parts for a CNC build. When it comes to building on the cheap, nobody holds a candle to [HomoFaciens].

Hooked to an Arduino, the motor made a workable encoder, later improved by sending each phase through a comparator and using digital inputs rather than using the Nano’s ADCs.

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S ...
