3D printing and CNC enthusiasts, this DiGiYes kit has everything you need to take your projects to the next level! The complete package includes the CNC Shield V3.0 extension board plus four A4988 stepper motor drivers with cooling heat sinks and connecting cables.
The heart of the system is the CNC Shield V3.0, which works seamlessly with GRBL 0.8 open-source firmware to convert G-code commands into precise stepper motor signals. It's compatible with both A4988 and DRV8825 stepper drivers, giving you flexibility for different projects.
Each of the four A4988 drivers supports five different step modes - full, 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, and 1/16 step - giving you incredibly smooth and precise motor control. The built-in protection features are comprehensive too, including thermal shutdown, cross current protection, and short circuit protection to keep your equipment safe.
The kit comes with four pre-installed heat sinks that keep those A4988 drivers running cool even during extended operation. You also get four 1.5-meter stepper motor cables with XH2.54 to XH2.0 connectors, making setup straightforward and organized.
Operating voltage ranges from 12V to 36V DC, though remember that the A4988 drivers work best up to 35V. The board supports PWM spindle control and has four axis support (X, Y, Z, and A), making it versatile for both 3D printers and engraving machines.
Whether you're building a new 3D printer from scratch, upgrading your existing machine, or creating a CNC engraver, this complete kit provides reliable performance and precise control. It's the affordable solution that delivers professional results for makers and hobbyists alike!
