ARDUINO UNO PINOUT FOR GRBL SHIELD SOFTWARE
Otherwise you can also have that common enable hardwired to ground and then motors will be always on and you basically have no software enable line and in pins.h you put all enable as -1 (for tests, but not a wise thing in practice).Įdited 1 time(s). So if Z and E are not separate, then are -1. In between slices Z is disabled, and E can also be disabled at times during which x and y need to move. If you try compile, for enable of Z and E put -1 instead of same value to all. To test endstops you need to short them to ground, otherwise they will be considered pressed/triggered. To test the thermistor, you can just connect any resistor instead of the thermistor, like 300 ohms one, and see that it reports a higher temp value. Then the thermistor connects between the pin and ground, forming a voltage divider with the upper 4k7 resistor. Thermistor pin has 2 support components, one is a 4k7 resistor to 5v and 10uF electrolitic cap to ground.

If there is anything connected to a pin already, that would change a lot of how that pin behaves and thats no good. If you have the board in front you can perhaps choose other pins which have nothing else connected on them. To have the new enable lins set as high, i would either use hardware 10k resistors pullups to 5v, or could perhaps tweak firmware and use internal pullups on those pins.Īnyway this is what i would do, this is just to show one point of view, but you can ofc choose to do everything differently Anyway, have funĪha ok, for thermistors it just have to be an analog pin, any of them that is A0 - A5 will work, i proposed A4 A5 because the rest to me looked used so dunno what is connected to them there - if anything is.
ARDUINO UNO PINOUT FOR GRBL SHIELD MOD
To mod that, i would use pins 0 and 1 which seem to be free, to take lines to two motors at enable (after physically cutting their existing enable tracks). E can also be disabled when not in use, but not so important as Z. The Z is better if its disabled when not in use, that being 90% of the time since Z is only used for layer change. As a matter of choice, i would rather use one separate enable for Z, and if its possible even for E. But if you dont feel comfortable you can skip this part. Something which is probably unforseen, it is enable for all motors at once. So imo up to here, hardware mod is fairly clear. the spindle enable and coolant enable seem to be on a connector which can be used to take those lines into the gates of two mosfets mounted externally (on same connector there is pin 13 i think should be avoided if i recall that has a led on it?). A4 and A5 seem to be sda/scl? and are also analog, so those can read 2 temps either with ma圆675 or with thermistors endstops seem to be sorted already, so can leave them at that The 99 its sort of "custom", you use that, just need to copy a layout and put the pins definitions according to the images above, then you should be set for testing existing functions. In the first top part of pins.h, there is a motherboard=99 config part (untill recently when somebody else fitted =88 on top of it). Just in case marling is too big, you can also try with Teacup that i think has more chances to fit on 328.

But you can certainly try, you need to start removing all stuff that is not essential until you reach a compile size that fits on 328.

I dont know if you will be able to shrink marlin size that much that will fit onto an 328.
