Additional features using the PuzzleBox32 Mini

A project log for Festo CNC (conversion)

Converting a scrapped Festo CNC rig into a (hopefully) working CNC mill for milling (mostly) aluminium

Besides obvious functionality of movement, switching to PuzzleBox32 Mini gives me: 

  1. Higher resolution (32 bit vs 8 bit Architecture)
  2. Limit switches:
    1. Isolation of the limit switch from the controller board
    2. Power is supplied via the limit switch connectors
    3. Better noise resilience
  3. PWM/Enable output for Spindle control (gonna be converted to 0-10V externally)
  4. Aux port for mist control
