This APP is a controller to create a CNC Mill (Computer Numerical Control).
You can create your own CNC Mill, using a Android device tablet/mobile/PC with Android-x86, and connect it to Arduino Mega 2560 R3 board via USB Port. Arduino Mega control 3 stepper motors that move a manual mill, and finally you obtain an CNC Mill.
Theoretically you can also use Android TV Box, but must include library package USB HOST and 2 devices I've tested Android TV Box with Android version 4.0 and 4.2.2 manufacturers not included.
The Android device must have OTG USB Host port to connect to "Arduino Mega 2560 R3", and you need a USB OTG cable.
This APP is designed for a low cost tablet with Android 4.0 and must have a minimum resolution of 800x480 pixels. Works on tablets only 1 core, but really if the tablet is faster mill moving faster, so it is recommended that have 4 cores.
There is a window of "Help and documentation" within the APP that explains the process (you can also download this help in PDF format on the project website http://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinocnccontroller/files ). Has instructions on how to connect the Arduino, you can use 3 standard "Arduino Motor Shield R3" to control 3 bipolar stepper motors. There is also an example for connect 3 unipolar stepper motors using 3 standard "Arduino Motor Shield R3". And there is a third example of a design of a shield board no standard for unipolar stepper motors with it's program. There are links to CAD/CAM programs and other sites.
The APP can be run in virtual mode, only with a Android device, without being connected to any milling machine, so you can practice and understand that their operation is based.
It is noted that is a BETA version so may have errors.
Arduino CNC Controller is an Android Tools app developed by Luis P. B. and published on the Google play store. It has gained around 10000 installs so far, with an average rating of 4.0 out of 5 in the play store.
Arduino CNC Controller requires Android with an OS version of 4.0 and up. In addition, the app has a content rating of Everyone, from which you can decide if it is suitable to install for family, kids, or adult users. Arduino CNC Controller is an Android app and cannot be installed on Windows PC or MAC directly.
Android Emulator is a software application that enables you to run Android apps and games on a PC by emulating Android OS. There are many free Android emulators available on the internet. However, emulators consume many system resources to emulate an OS and run apps on it. So it is advised that you check the minimum and required system requirements of an Android emulator before you download and install it on your PC.
Below you will find how to install and run Arduino CNC Controller on PC:
If you follow the above steps correctly, you should have the Arduino CNC Controller ready to run on your Windows PC or MAC. In addition, you can check the minimum system requirements of the emulator on the official website before installing it. This way, you can avoid any system-related technical issues.
