Raspberry Pi Powered CNC Router
From RiceFamily Wiki
Introduction
I'd love to build a CNC Router, and since I have several Raspberry Pi's it seems logical to power it with one.
It also helps that I currently use a Raspberry Pi to extend Internet Service to the shop with a High Gain antenna.
Now I just need to settle on how to make it work.
Details
- SVG Files hold the shape to route
- InkScape software
- G-Code is what the CNC Router Needs to operate (Tiny G) (http://JSCut.org)
- http://chilipeppr.com - G-Code Creator?
- Gear Cutting Template
Examples
- Found a description of a project someone else did. It was in the 2nd Raspberry Pi Project edition magazine.
- A YouTube video showing images of the unit. There are no real details about the project, just a video stitched together from stills of the project.
- Another YouTube video of the router in action.
- Ben Heck’s CNC Router Tutorial - Features the Shapeoko.
- There appear to be several versions of the Shapoko.
