2020B CNC with Arduino CNC shield

2020B CNC with Arduino CNC shield 

After all those in-accurate cnc builds i have decided to buy a cnc. so i bought a 2020b cnc machine from local market.sellers didn't know about any technical parameters or software or even how to assemble this together.i received a dvd which contained some instructions but not very clear.in there there is was a software called  " CNC USB Controller " which seems to bee too old.after little googling i have decided to convert this to grbl. so i started adding limit switches.then i installed the Arduino cnc shield and uploaded grbl firmware.then i have adjust few settings of the firmware.i choose UGS software as PC side control software.



lately i have discovered " http://chilipeppr.com/grbl " is great online too for controlling cnc machines.
its so great that it even convert eagle cad pcb layout brd files to gcode without any other software.
to use this you need a internet connection and json serial sever installed.to me auto leveling didn't went well.but other functions worked correctly.
