The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

Here's a link to to something similar to what I am using for my lathe, with an arduino and stepper motor controller; I don't have time to track down the same product. Hope it points you in the right direction. If you're new to arduino, (as am I) you might have some luck using Chat GPT to give you s...

You don't need WiFi. A WiFi would only be necessary if you want to start and stop your device with your mobile phone, for example. But a simple push button switch is better for this! The Arduino Uno does not have the capability to control the spindle motor and the WiFi communication at the same tim...

hey fellow lathe trolls! im assembling gear needed to build a lathe, and am about to purchase an arduino uno to run the stepper motor/leadscrew and controller i have got, i am wondering this: Do i need a Wifi one (the rev.3's are wifi i think?) to program arduino functions on my computer to drive my...

This is the driver i bought and the stepper motor. So ill need to get Arduino to drive this with my computer correct? https://www.temu.com/goods.html?_bg_fs=1&goods_id=601099517144735&_x_enter_scene_type=cate_tab&_x_sessn_id=6sn09twmsn&refer_page_name=bgt_order_detail&refer_page_id=10045_16869044555...

thanks for the feedback guys, i made a simple record cutter to see if i could do one without a precise needle etc, so will be making a proper one but need the housing 3d files for printing the parts to hold the speakers in place. i've orderd a stepper motor and stepper motor driver. am sourcing a le...

what did you use to make the cutter head move up and down connecting to the lead screw?
