All I/O ports have led indicators to ease the installation and operation.

Opto-isolators for reliability and piece-of-mind (5kV, emc noise elimination, for example: plasma cutter application).

High performance 72MHz 32 bits STM32 ARM Cortex controller to provide smooth and responsive control.

Firmware Watchdog to increase safety (e.g.

Door/Pause/Resume/Abort control switches (all opto-isolated).

Limit switches on all 5 axis and a probe switch (all opto-isolated, all real-time monitoredВ and can be inverted via user configuration).

to automate ATC, flood, mist, conveyor belt etc.)

4 Additional opto-isolated ports (Tn/M6/7/8/9 i.e.

drive a relay) to drive your spindle/lathe motor's direction

1 Additional opto-isolated direction port (i.e.

#CNC USB CONTROLLER 9 AXIS DRIVER#

DC brushed spindle motor driver fault monitoring to increase safety.

#CNC USB CONTROLLER 9 AXIS DRIVERS#

Socket for DC brushed spindle motor drivers of choice (with direction control).

PWM Soft start motor feature to rev up your spindle to its desired revolutions (user configurable).

16 Bits PWM (with composite outputs, opto-isolated, 5 or 10V) to drive your laser or VFD spindle control.

5 stepper sockets for your choice of stepper (TMC2100, DRV8880, DRV8825, A4988 etc and DIR/EN/STEP/GND breakout pins for external high-power step drivers (>2.5A).

5 simultaneous stepper motor axis control, to control your most exotic equipment or machine.

M modal controls: M0 to 9 and basic ATC based on M6/Tn G-Codes(2 outputs) * See our G-Code list at the end of this page.

Free, user-friendly open source tool-chain (we recommend FreeCAD/Inkscape, UGS G-Code sender and although non-open: Fusion360).

Testimonial Christian Korb (Germany) Feature list

Talking of support, hereвЂ™s some feedback from our original Gerbil customers: It doesnвЂ™t compete with the unsupported and experimental circuit boards you might find on eBay and Indie вЂ“ it simply has too many features and too much support to be meaningfully compared. The Super Gerbil competes feature wise with top-end controllers, but comes in at under half the cost. High level of user customisation possible (even firmware with lots of room to add G-Code functions like G76, canned cycles G80.99).New G-Code features: M6/Tn (build a tool changer., configurable PWM and M3/M4 soft spindle start).Opto-isolators ensure piece of mind вЂ“ there is no electrical connection between the Super Gerbils microcontroller and your equipment.This is the best of both worlds, as competitors typically sell controllers and drivers separately, with the total bill rising rapidly plus the complexity of wiring it all up and debugging those modules. Every aspect of the Super Gerbil is geared towards supporting the Kickstarter community in going to the next level in their CNC/Robot and Maker projectsвЂ¦ for example:Дrivers are integrated into the board, but are modular and user replaceable or up-gradable. In fact, itвЂ™s a lot cleaner and simpler than competing products.

#CNC USB CONTROLLER 9 AXIS SOFTWARE#

You own your Super Gerbil controller and software outrightД«ut is the Super Gerbil a real solution ? No licence fees or technology lock in.The user can, 100% optionally, choose to share their Super Gerbil's status with us electronically to fast-track issue resolution

we don't ! You'll be glad to know there's: Some equipment suppliers seem to think that forcing users to subscribe and upload data to their cloud solution is a great idea. Talking about the elephant in the room (cloud) we even supply the STLink dongle so upgrading is easy Access to future G-Code features via firmware upgrades.

#CNC USB CONTROLLER 9 AXIS PC#

Dedicated embedded controller (not a PC Operating System that gets locked up).Open source G-Code sender based on UGS (Universal G-Code Sender).Just hook up your motors, features and limit switches and go All Opto coupler Inputs, Step drivers, DC motor drivers, MOSFET Output ports are ready. Everything integrated on the one board.There are some very dated CNC controller designs on the market (PC with parallel port, anybody ?), so the time is right for the Super Gerbil to innovate with features like:Д«luetooth connection to allow easy control through smartphone/tablet
