bCNC – CAM PCB

Sergio Armelin

Move mill to position X=0 and Y=0

Sergio Armelin

Make X=0 and Y=0

Sergio Armelin

Connect probe circuit into Arduino and make probe where X=0 and Y=0 (origin)

Sergio Armelin

Make Z=0

Sergio Armelin

Move up mill

Sergio Armelin

Make autolevel with probe circuit connected into Arduino

Sergio Armelin

Zero origin of auto level
