We develop a board with female header pins that allow the user to plug in an Arduino, three stepper drivers and other required components onto the circuit. This was done mainly to incorporate the idea of re-usability. If you burn or short circuit one of the electrical components and it gets destroyed then you can plug it out and use a new component in the circuit rather than discarding the whole board. The circuit receives power from two different sources - 5 volts from the arduino and 12 volts from an external source. The communication of the circuit board to the software is done via Serial Communication through USB port of the microcontroller. |
