On Tue Apr 14, we purchased a chcrouterparts.com 5x10 Pro CNC router kit. This page documents the changes I've made to that machine, and the processes used to work with it.
Workflow
- Turn on main power
- Turn on motor enable
- Turn on spindle power

Electronics
Replacement of Ethernet Smoothstepper
The ethernet smoothstepper, while an impressive device, does not appear to be well documented or supported by Free Software. I've decided to replace it with a raspberry pi 3b+ running cnc.js and arduino mega 2560 running grbl. I've created a protoboard PCB to house the pi and arduino and to provide mounting points within the electronics cabinet. Polarized 26 pin headers have been used to interface with the existing smoothstepper compatible connectors. In this way, the electronics cabinet can be restored to original configuration with minimal effort.
| Quantity | Part | Link |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arduino MEGA 2560 PRO | Amazon |
| 1 | LPC1768 mbed development board | ebay |
| 1 | 15Pcs 2x13 Pins 2.54mm Pitch Straight Connector Pin IDC Box Headers | Amazon |
Initial firmware will focus on cnc.js and the grbl-Mega Atmega 2560 port of grbl. LPC1768 port of grbl is available as a fallback.
grbl
The settings page lists only inversion values for XYZ axes, however when using dual X or Y axis, inverting both motors requires inverting a currently undocumented (As far as I can find) N axis.
| $3 Value | Mask | Invert X | Invert Y | Invert Z | Invert N |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0000 | N | N | N | N |
