Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I am having a great time learning how to get this all set up. I did find general advice saying that it’s better to rewire than to work off of a custom compiled GRBL configuration. Did you create a new pin map in config.h for GRBL and recompile? Did you rewire the connections from the stepper motors to match GRBL’s Arduino UNO pin map? Did you not use the Me Base Shield? I have googled to see if this kind of advice was already out there, but could not find anything specific to GRBL and the Me Base Shield. I am wondering if others have already solved this problem. It seems, however, that GRBL is expecting different pin locations for the stepper motors than the Me Base Shield. I found had recommended settings for the GRBL on his blog: So now I have flashed the GRBL firmware onto my Arduino board. I started then to build my own gcode sender in python, which was fine and worked, but then became frustrated with the Z-axis timing issues that make the pen-up pen-down commands happen out of sync with X and Y movement commands when multiple commands are sent (as in a file). I downloaded the Universal GCode Sender, which also let me send individual commands but not files because it was expecting GRBL firmware (much better response and error handling than the MakeBlock app). I could not get the file sending mode to work at all. Once I got everything working (had to resolder a bad pin bar below Ports 3 and 4) I started fussing with the gcode interpreter that makeblock offers.

This is my first Arduino project, but I think/hope I am picking up on it fast.

Together, these two make up a working tool, but this is not really the plotter you would buy unless you want to get your hands dirty with a little programming

The same goes for the Android application ( ).

Since the source code is open, you are free to modify it.

Makeblock provides source code for you to upload to the Arduino-based controller that will move the motors ( ). Getting the default set to be exactly square can be somewhat tricky, so that’s why I’m doing it differently. There’s however many reasons why you might not achieve this, such as slack in belts and inacuracies when building.

I would say that since the stepper drivers can do microstepping, you should be able to achieve 1/16th of a millimeter (0.04 inch) & maybe even less than that as well. I’m making a custom version, but you could probably go far with the basic set as well.
