At least if the machine kinematics are non-trivial or if you wish to correct for joint misalignment - motion command generation for individual joints - lots of housekeeping code to manage user interface, machine status etc etc. Anyway, to create a cnc system you need at least the following: - an input file parser to read some control presentation, usually G-code, - a trajectory planner to create motion primitives for coordinated motion, - a transformation engine from coordinate space to joint space. But the ones i have, are not true servo systems i.e. As noted there are implementations made for Arduino but those are not true cnc systems, rather they are simple step generators for steppers. Based on your questions it looks like you don't have experience in cnc systems and i can only suggest that you should try to put some ready made systems into operation before you even think of building your own from scratch.

I assume you don't mean how to fabricate the PCB? How much system design have you done on this project so far? Or let's first ask: how much system design work have you done ever? Designing a complete cnc controller is a non-trivial exercise. Please clarify "ways to make the controller board". The middle one is replacing the left one as one of the joint motors for the mill in my hobby den that you can see in the background.

The motors in this image are from left to right: a Fujitsu-Fanuc Hi-Pulse 5 phase hi power stepper of vintage 1973 Yaskawa SGMGH-20DE 2 kW/400VAC servo with integrated serial encoder of 131072 p/rev resolution Sanyo Denki P80 2.5 kW/230VAC servo with similar encoder. The data rates can be vvery high, into the MHz range and signaling is usually differential RS485 os similar (sometimes the encoders are connected to a bus passing more than 1 encoder to a central multijoint controller). Modern hi-speed hi-power servos use serial encoder connections exclusively. Small servos, especially legacy ones do use ABZ quadrature encoding, usually single-ended 5V logic. There are allegedly solutions for encoder feedback with steppers but i have never seenm one and the reports are ambiguous as to the benefits. So one steps the motos and hopes the holding torque is enough to prevent slipping. I have ball guides on all 3 axes so that bit should be OK.Ī small simple mill is usually driven by steppers with no feedback at all. Also you need to do something about backlash, for which the correct solution in the CNC world is ball guides, but they add a few k to the cost of the mill. The "proper" solution is a DRO with a high speed TTL output. For what I want it for (milling holes in aircraft instrument panels, mainly) having a circle milled as say 0.25mm steps would be fine. I haven't done any more on this (have enough projects already!) but one solution would be to interpolate/extrapolate the values from the DRO and try to be a bit more intelligent about it, and possibly mill in small steps where each step is done with a decent feed rate. Probably OK in brass but definitely not ok in aluminium. I thought I can still make it work, however, simply by milling very slowly, but that causes another problem: you can't mill "slowly" because a very low feed rate just welds metal to the cutter. They don't use the RS232 data (or any other serialised data containing textual floating point values) because, fairly obviously, there is too much of a lag.

Looking into this briefly, I have found that all the commercial CNC products use TTL signals from the position encoders which give an "instant" feedback.

I can build the servos and have made one already, and my plan was to knock up some laptop software which can take in the RS232 x,y position data stream from the DRO and (via some USB D-A converter add-on) drive the servos, with just enough functionality to enable me to mill circles (in sheet metal, a real pig to do otherwise e.g. How will you get your position feedback? I have a Wabeco turret mill with a Newall DRO but no servos and thus no CNC.
