Figuring out how to connect the TB 6560 to the Arduino UNO using GRBL g-code to control my NEMA 23 steppers. Explaining the pin layout on the Arduino (Genuino) UNO and the inputs/outputs on the TB6560. I also make a wiring diagram how I connect the two electronics boards, these are available on my webpage.

This is by far the best CNC project I've seen. It makes me want to build my own project for PCB printing. Kudos to you man!
AndresJ89 I'm glad you think so!! :-) If you have the drive to build something, just do it. There is a lot to learn and the feeling of building something with your own hand is golden!!! Thank you very much for watching 👍👍
Yeah do it. I built a drawer slide CNC machine that can isolation route PCBs.
Paul Frederick yrs, no point in waiting 👍😀🤘
This video is worth 10,000 words!
Thank-you Mike.
Aha.. ok thanks, and someone also reccomend me bigger drivers and at least 48V psu, so can you tell me did it work well with tb6560 and 24V psu, and with what ipm you cut wood, Thanks again 🙏😊
FINALLY !!! the video that I was waiting for!!, after doing ton of online research on how this is done You Sir the only one who made it clear for me, this is the first video that I found useful on how to wire arduino with TB6560 ,THANK YOU VERY MUCH , I can't wait for your next video :)
I Hope this works for you, but the way are wired makes the motors get over heating, because they all the time are energized, a list that happens to my one's.
Great job with pin diagram it helped me get started. I bought a breakout shield so i can screw the wires in.
The best CNC project video. Especially electrical part. Thank you!
I appreciate your feedback :). Thanks for watching!! 👍
You are doing an awesome job at clearly explaining things! Thanks.
And thanks for watching 😁👍
Thank you so much, I have been thinking of doing this for a while, I have been experimenting with motors, but not got round to the build yet, watching this as soon as I can go get the wood, its all systems go, great video thanks again
No prob, let me know if you have any questions 👍😃
Hi, how did you wire up limit switches ?
Great video, absolutely clear instructions, thanks
Than for watching 😀👍
This is really good. Thank you Willy. I got it working.
Be careful using those TB6560 modules. The data sheet specifically calls for the 5v logic to be applied to the chip first and be allowed to settle before the motor voltage (24v or more) is applied to the chip. Those module derive the logic voltage from the higher voltage using a 7805 thus compromising the power-up sequence. There have been reports of failed chips as a result. The problem can be resolved with a modification of the power circuitry.
Thanks for the information, I have used the tb6560 for 3 years now and have had no issues with them, I am using tourqe hold when power on also
But I reccon its good to keep in mind what you say
You deserve thumbs UP good work My friend . Please upload a wiring Operation with step by step thing , as we old people are not Quad core 2.5 GHz we are kind of 386 architecture with 1 MB ram and 1 MB disk space . which is a lots for 1955 generation The only great thing about it is that we have Huge size High energy consumption High cost and very limited out put. So keep us in mind we are still operational
Mo Izak Hi and thanks a lot for you feedback :-) Do you have a request for a «slow» video I can make? 😀😀
Yes Sir , I am Not getting the Hang of Wiring , You know My model is almost classic 1955 :) and I Mb clock speed You know very slow haha
what a great video! It is just what i need. I built my own cnc machine with the same driver and arduino, so i decided to add another motor but i do not had any idea how to connect it. Thanks man, now i hit the suscribe button!
I`m glad my video helped you out and thanks for the feedback :)
Хоть и без перевода я понял с первого раза !!! Удачи вам )))
Спасибо :)
Impresionantes tus videos muy friend !!!! Muchas gracias por tu dedicación y tiempo
Hey Willy! Thank you soooo much for your video! It really helped me a lot! GOOD JOB!
Thanks man, I'm glad the video helped 👍😃
huge good INFO!
thank you for this clear explanation!
thank you!
friendly greetings from The Netherlands!
Rob.
Rob Hobby Hi and thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it very much :-) Let me know if there is anything else I can make a video about 👍
Subscribed to Willy.
I appreciate it Jeff 😁👍
Your explanation is very clear
Thanks 😀
This is the point where most newbie fail😄😁😁 actually they use a4988 that is very weak low current driver while drv8825 can be re placed because it has same layout as the a4988. Drv8825 is as power that at highest current it delivers a lot of current and makes my nema 23s to heat up... Well you can try those drivers...
Is this driver heat up easily?because i use l298n and it will heat up easily
I just subscribed to ur channel. I really like your videos. Especially this CNC series.
Samuel .G.Larmie Thanks a lot man. I realy appreciate the feedback. Let me know if there is something else in the CNC series you would like to see a video about. :-)
Alright buddy. i will definitely let you know. I design and build CNC machines, but I use higher end Drivers from Gecko etc. I have always wanted to try our Arduino to drive my motors for small machines like plotters and drag knife CNC's. I will watch all you videos to learn all i can. Thank you very much for the detailed info and nice graphics you add to your videos.
Samuel, how many have you made? Just curious. I made one too.
Thank you for this great explanation!
No problem, thanks for your feedback:)
Great video
if you put together x1 and x2 you dont have a way to calibrate de table unless you do it by hand... cnc can be easily get out of square.. its a good practice to put limit switches and auto calibrate de table every power on and within long works... i have nema34 motors and even they can loose one step some time.
CapApollo Thanks for the tip. Do you use Arduino?
no... mach3 or linux cnc and parallel port.
CapApollo ok, I have waited to connect the limit switches until I'm sure how I'm going to connect and set them up. It would be nice to have auto zeroing on the x axis :-)
Hi I am trying to build my own CNC . I followed your videos. But I have a problem if I connect Arduino to my PC I have an error msg like" error opening connection (jssc.serialportexception): port name - method name - openport(); exception type - port busy." Please help me how to proceed.. thank you
Hmm, maby you lack a USB driver? Have you figured it out?
I am glad I found this video, I was about to make the same mistake!
I'm glad the video helped you :) 👍🤘
Big time, thank you, saved me 40 euros!
Sir you are great
Thanks and thanks for watching 😁👍
Why don't use tb6600 stepper motor driver? I think its batter than it
Great Job... Your work is far better than other for understanding..... Could you please tell How can I work with limit switches.? It shows alarm or stop the process even when the limit switch in untouch
Hi, it sounds like its something with the settings om GRBL. But I have not installed my limit swithes yet som I'm not sure 👍
Hi! I had a problem in mind, is my driver and motor getting heat up when I use a power supply of 12v 3A lithium ion battery?
здравствуйте , подскажите где можно скачать скетч , с такими функциями ,чтоб можно было менять обороты двигателя и направления движения (реверс ) и кнопка пауза .
Hello, tell me where you can download the sketch, so that you can change the engine speed and direction of movement (reverse) and the pause button.
Hi, you can do all that in the GRBL settings. If you watch this video you can get some tips on how to do it: th-cam.com/video/-ssuoF2oXGg/w-d-xo.html
Great Work, Congratulations
Kostas Koudaras Thanks 👍👍
Manufactured TB6560 based drives are not the best. That is due to how the current is set on them. This issue was addressed with the TB6600 drives. Get yourself some v1.2 TB6600 motor drives. I run those on my machine and they're great. You have to know how to set the current on them though. I use an ammeter on one coil, and adjust the drive when it is holding on a peak step. I can hit 200 IPM using 10 TPI lead screws. So that's 2,000 RPM. Which is not bad for drives that cost $8 a piece.
Paul Frederick Sounds like a nice driver. Maby I will try those on my next machine.
TB6600s are so cheap and so much better they're worth upgrading to. They are going up in price lately though. I have ones like this one www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-TB6600-4-5A-Stepper-motor-drive-stepper-motor-driver-board-single-axis-controller-TB6600-New/32752308150.html?
I can tell from the sound the motor generate squeakily sound the fact that the driver is not providing correct PWM waveform.
Ok, but it works great now after some tweaking 👍😀
Hello. this is very a great tutorial. how to control 4 step motor by Tb driver but not 2 motor in X direction .
i want to forth motor contored by angel (0-360 degree) not step/mm
but in Universal Gcod-sender and Grbl just implayed that active forth axis but not how control by degree.
Hi, I dont think the Arduino can control 4 axis.. only Z-X-Y?
Hi Willy and congratz on the fine machine you have made. I am atempting to replicate it but I'm wondering if you have a full list of parts you have used?
I'm having dificulty to decide how long axis "screwrods" I should order.
Hi, and thanks for watching! I don't have a full list, but if you go to my videos in the CNC series you can see a list of the materials I have used in that video. Building is a fun hobby and I would like to help you out if you have any questions. Good luck :)
Give me a notice if there are some specific material you need links for :)
hey I have used Xerox stepper motors..and i am using two sliders for x-axis the problem is some time one slider lags behind although i am providing same signal to both stepper drivers(tb6560).
also what platform are you using for making g-codes?
Hi, Im using Fusion 360 to generate g codes and UGS for sending it to the CNC machine
@@maximuskembo thank you I am using inkscape but I have to manually edit the g-code and remove certain commands starting from "M"....otherwise my code is not recognized.
very good explanation, and funny with the Uh...some package :-)
Thanks 😀👍 can you give me a time stamp?
While Industrial Router CNCs cost $4K, can I actually build a CNC router for my wood shop which would run say ,5 Hrs a day at an average, using Nema 23 and Arduino? would it be reliable? What would be the trade-Off? can you advise ?
Hey great vid, thanks a lot for sharing! Very helpful, very well done. Cheers
No problemo, thanks for watching! :-)
hello sir, i like your video it contain every in the video more understable, you have explain each and every thing by step by step. but i need some help for you which software will be use. and by using this method can be made cnc wire bender

How to connect wire in stepper motor driver & how volt & ampir of power supply please solely vedio download, sir
Hi, Im not sure what you mean?
Hello..i have follow your wiring diagram in your video step by step..but my stepper motor not moving at all..
I use arduino uno, nema 23,grbl 1.1 and ugs..before i use cnc shield v3 it work fine..can you help me....thanks
I've connected with stepper drivers DM556. while I connect the Z and Y, everything goes fine, once I connect the X, and I jog, the X axis always goes in the same direction.
Any idea why?
you saved my life thanks
Aissou Amine No problem, thanks for watching 👍😀
Greetings, thanks for the video. The vendor says that both bipolar and unipolar motors can be connected to the TB6560 driver. The question is whether when connecting a unipolar motor in bipolar mode, I do not lose torque? Can I still configure the microstep modes? Is the engine not wasted?
Hi and thanks for watching :)
There should be no loss in power or tourqe when connecting a unipolar motor in bipolar connection 👍😀 And microstep also no difference
Great work !.... Keep it up.
Thanks 👍
This is a great tutorial! Much appreciated. Have you tried using the limit switches with the arduino board? I have been having problems with mine giving false triggers from electrical noise. Even with shielded wire.
Jason Wisser I have not yet wired up my limit switches. I have heard there could be some problems with electrical noise when using them. I will wire the up in a future video. Have you tried to hook up an external power supply 12volt to the Arduino it self? Just a tip I have read about.. Thanks for watching!!!
Very nice thank you my friend
whitebird No problem Sir :). Thanks for watching
Did you have to define the pins the uno uses in the uno software or is it pre set up for those pins in grbl?
Its set up via GRBL 👍
Hello Willy have you setup homming circle on your cnc router,if you did kindly make a video of how to setup homming with softlimit, i have a cnc router using the same mechanism as yours i just want to set the homming ether with hard or soft limit please
Akin Onawole Hi, I have plans to install limit swithes and setting the limits in the software. It´s on my «to do» list. I`m not sure when I get to do it but it will be done sometime in the future. Thanks for the feedback 👍👍
ok
can you give description of the power supply you used for the motor drivers?
24V 14.6A Power Supply For CNC and 3D-printers
Check this one:

How did you correct the direction of the 2 X axis motor that was spinning the opposite direction? Can you pls explain so if I face that issue I might be able to handle it :) thank you
You can try to change over the wireing on the motor that has the wrong direction 👍
@@WillysGarageNorway thank you so much!! Your video is very inspiring and has a greater clarity than any of the videos i have seen on TH-cam regarding CNC. Thanks again for your quick resolution :)
hello video is great and I did everything right, and I did not like the cnc shield on the arduino, small coolers playing with potentiometers cost me some burned drivers, etc. I have one question if it's not a problem to answer me .. there are always more stepped motors under the power supply when they are not in operation
Hi and thanks :) you can set holding power on the stepper motors when they are not running. This is to keep them in place when they are not recieving g code. I changed my cnc shield to TB6560, they work great and are strong
@@WillysGarageNorway I changed today to TB6560, I did the same thing as you, but now my step motors are louder ... did they have a similar problem ...
@@taclackrivoglavac3977 hi, theynget a bit louder. You can change amount of holding power to your stepper motors on the tb6560
@@WillysGarageNorway hello ... I managed to solve the problem, it was a big deal Amperase my stepper motors work up to max 2 Amps. thank you for your answers and advice ... all the best.
@@taclackrivoglavac3977 thanks and good luck 👍😁
Hello this is a very good video how to do it.
i visit also your website , you are a fantastic man end i love all your projects
when a stepper motor datasheet gives : Rate voltage 2.4 volts en on how many volts it will work fine
can you give mi an answer please i am new with all of this
Hi and thank you very much. Do you mean it is rated 2.4 Ampere?
Bonjour, where and how connect axes end stop ? Thanks for your share .
code detail didnot mention for tb6560 please explan this type of driver coding
Im not sure what you mean, what is your question?
Hey, what kind of wires did you used to connect the drivers to the motors and to the power source? What kind of Cable is that and what is the diameter of a single wire? Can you please tell me? Good job BTW! Congrats!
Yuris Man thanks man :-) I use shielded cables on my machine.
Arduinos do seem a bit noise sensitive. But your motor drives are optically isolated, so it should not be an issue. I've seen folks have big troubles with the air cooled Chinese spindles and Arduino controls though. The trick there is to bypass the brushes with suppression capacitors.
HI! I found the answer of my previous question.. I hope you could help me on would it be okay to use different sizes of stepper motor like 3 nema 17 and 1 nema 23?
Yes, no problem running different steppers as long as they have there own stepper driver 👍
You know you could have just used
DRV8825 stepper Motor Driver in the cnc shield and saved all that money
They are rated @ 2.5amps
You may be right there but I really wanted a solution that did not give 100 % all the time, this way the units will last longer. The tb6560 were not expencive. But maby in a later build I will use those. Thanks for watching and thanks for the tip
Hi thanks for this videos I have one question if you can help me pleas how you connect 2 stepper motors x bcz if it's mounted in the machine so mean the direction of rotation it will not be the same if x1 cw x2 should ccw thanks
hello how the issue of x-axis rotation is solved I also have that problem
I followed every direction you gave and everything works great. The only issue is the Y axis only spins in one direction. I flashed the Arduino using grbl and I'm controlling it with UGCS. I verified all the wires are plugged in correctly, there aren't any opens in the lines. I switched to a different driver and motor and it does the same thing. only spins one way. any suggestions would be appreciated
Hmm, sounds like it could be a software issue but Im not sure. Have you figured it out?
@@WillysGarageNorway yup, got it fixed. Too forever to identify the code but i got it
HI thanks for this very helpful video. i still have some doubt ,how much volt/amp each driver getting from this power supply ?
Hi and thanks for watching! The PSU is 24 Volt dc, so the drivers will get approx 24 volts, I think it will use these 24 volts out to the steppers also and I recon the amp is decided by the size of the stepper and resistance on the lead screw but maximum 15 Amps +/÷ in this setup.
Does this answer your question?
Hi Willy, Thanks a ton for this video, I am from India, a non-elctrical background commerce grad. but my fascination is with experimenting new things like CNC router and laser. The machine that moves by itself. Like Phantom who walks! Remember the childhood comics?
actually , last month I purchased 3 nos. TB6560 . I was excited when it came, but I had no idea of "Decay Setting". Now I am clear. You did a Arduino Uno connection. But I have a Mach 5 Board that runs on MACH3 program. You tested with Arduino board. Now I don't know how to run an Arduino program. If you shall help me on programming, it would be worth appreciating. One question, if I run it via this Arduino board, how long can it be functioning, let's say cutting a relief of Poet Rabindranath Tagore on wood? again if I have to burn via a laser diode, then how long it can be workable. should I give it some rest interval?
Yet again, does it depend on size of the machine? Let's say, my machine built size is 3 ft x 2 ft. Almost you may get tired by reading my questions, please pardon for long questions, as I am most eagerly waiting for your reply. My e-mail id is : calcuttacity@gmail.com------------------ :)
Thanks Willy for your quick reply. :) Forgot to tell you my name---Adin....I shall start develop my machine, may be in new year 2019 launch is possible.
Hi, as long as the TB6560's gets cooling when they are running and the stepper motors them self don't get to warm there is no limit how long you can run a g-code program. You can leave it going for month's :-) BUT always a good idea to stay and watch because you never know what may happen to the cut. As with the laser diode I don't have any experience with that so I don't know if there are a time limit on the use.
So with both Mach3 and Arduino you can run as long as you want if you have enough cooling.
Udyog Sutra u
Thanks for the great explanation. Can you please tell, why there are two motors for x? This has made me slightly confused. Thanks! :-)
Pankaj Vig if you se my video where I show my design you can see that I have two stepper motors on the z axis. Someone may cal this the y axis tho 👍😀
WillysGarageNorway thanks!
Can we make 5axis cnc machine in audrino plz discribe sir
Per today, the arduino does not have 5 axis capabiletys :(
Good Morning,
thanks for the replay but on the datasheet it is 2.4Volt en 2.4 Amps
on witch volt i can run the 3 steppermotors :
JKM JK42HM48 NEMA17 0.9° 42 Hybrid Stepper Motor Two Phase 48mm 4.8kg. on banggood
Thanks
Fourstar
Since its a NEMA17, you can run it with 12-24volts. Maby its a typ-o and should say 24 volts?
What sort of stepper motor driver are you going to use?
That rating means that at 2.4 volts the motor will draw 2.4 amps so at 24VDC setting the current limit is vital. I run Nema 23's at 36VDC and set the current at 3.3 amps.
hello I have a problem I follow the video steps but the X axis works an engine for each direction that can be
Thank you
tazmahv lucky You can turn two of the wires on one motor, than try again 👍🏻
One tb6560 with 2 NEMA 17 can run the X axis
You could do that in theory, but I would not recommend it. There is little cost in buying one more tb6560 and clone them for the x-axis 👍
@@WillysGarageNorway single start of 4 start which is better sir
Lead screw
i tried to replicate your project using the drivers that came with the machine, but it wont work.
with the arduino shield it does work, but maybe I will have the same lack of power problem.
thanks by the videos, by the way
What sort of drivers do you use, tb6560? Installed GRBL on arduino?
@@WillysGarageNorway yes, but they are slightly different from yours. they don't have the 3 black switches. I guess Chinese bad counterfeit.
I bought this machine from China a few months ago. it spouse to work with Mach3, the software was crap too. I've been watching your videos, and I'm trying to find a way around it, and try the arduino. I figure that the shield will be too week for the nema23. I got some DM556 Digital Stepper motor driver 5.6A for 57 86 stepper motor NEMA23 34 on the way, and I hope it will work, otherwise, got to spend the money in a better controller, and software.
now I got the arduino shield working, but the X axle don't work...
very frustrating.
eventually I'll get it. it is last piece of my puzzle. I got 3d printers, and laser machines. just missing the cnc miller.
Ok, cnc should work fine with Arduino GRBL and the Univeral Gcode Sender. The shield is to weak for the nema 23's as you say. I recommend that if you have one axis that work, try to use that driver on one of the axis that doesent work. This way you figure out if the problem is software or hardware. As you probably know, good to double check wiring and software driver instal
@@WillysGarageNorway hi, thanks for your help and videos.
the problem it's not the driver, because I exchange them around, and they all work on the other axis, also the connections on the motors. they work except on the X axis. my guess it is, the shield it self, or some software problems. I even try it with two different arduinos, and the problem persists.
next try, it will be inspired on your videos too. I will clone the X axis, and try to get it to work on the A axis.
Thanks for feedback :) have you tried to change the GRBL settings in Universal Gcode sender? Like steps per revolution and acceleration?
Like I did in this video:
th-cam.com/video/-ssuoF2oXGg/w-d-xo.html
3d printers can we make 5axis post vedios plz
Not with Arduino :(
Hi Willy, great video. I have one question about the software. Is it possible to run the motors individually and at specific speeds? I have a project that is perfect for the set up you used, but it is not a cnc.
Frank Hiebert hi, yes you can run the motors seperatly and at any speed you want really. But you will need to write a new Arduino sketch (code) to do it.
Not familiar with Arduino sketch, how would you suggest I learn how to do that?
Frank Hiebert Hmm, there is a lot of good recourses on the world wide web :) but the easyest maybe to find a sketch on github that is suiteble for your use. Can I ask what functions you want and how you want the motors to be controlled (speed adjustment?, end stops, limit switches, push buttons?) and stuff like that. There is a lot of free sketches you can use and costumize since Arduino is open source.
Hi....
Can you tell me how can I make the toll on or off automatically in the cnc ? I mean for example the cutter or drill are work due to the design which it cutt it
majick talent Hi, Im not sure what you mean?
Nice video, did you put fuse on power suply input as recommended on TB6560 datasheet? Did you had some issue with power on/off sequence?
Blender Wiki Hi, thanks. I didn't put a fuse on the power input of my TB6560's, but there is a fuse inn my power supply. That way the PSU and the TB6560's are protected. I have not had any problems with the power up. Do you experience problems?
No i am testing right now the TB6560, same board like yours, but few people point out a issue with power on/off sequence with this board like in this video
th-cam.com/video/XJKodmZihbk/w-d-xo.html
Blender Wiki Ok. I'm glad you are not having problems. I think a lot of the problems is in what sort of PSU you use. If you us a decent quality PSU you should have no problems with you TB6560 :)
good to know after few month you have no issue
I was thinking to put a MF-R300 fuse in power supply input
So how good is this TB6560 driver ? I mean by the endurance of that driver, is that any problem like damage after several use? I'm curious to know because I'm running out the budget for buying the driver, this TB6560 is a lot cheaper than TB6600, I also want to run my NEMA 23
I have used the tb6560's without any issues since I built the machine 2-3 years ago. They still work as they did when new, never had to change them.
I do have a good fan cooling system blowing air over the cooling blocks of the tb6560's so I would recommend that if you use them 👍
@@WillysGarageNorway can you share me your driver configuration on NEMA 23 for the microstep, current, decay, etc ?
I think I use the settings I set up in this video

@@WillysGarageNorway so just like in this video? Ok ok thank you very much sir for the Information
No problem :) Let me know if you have any problems with the set up 👍
I am having a problem, my stepper is rotating in one direction only.
Try hoocking it up to one of the other axis drivers, this way you can figure out if its the driver or motor/wires thatmies the problem
What was not working?
@@WillysGarageNorway sorry! It was stepper wiring problem, now motor is working perfectly thanks 👍
I hope, now your cnc will be work fine!
Just only one joke, how is with a table stability for precision?
I look forward to checking out the precision on my CNC :) It probably is not that good. But this project is about learning and figuring things out. I have plans to make a new DIY CNC in the future where I use the things I learn here. Thanks for watching. :-)
I understand, that the table made of from some pieces of wood, connected together with wood screws, not seriously.
But! Maybe through this reason you lose some important details?
Or got it..However good way to learn something new!
Time start my own CNC project!
Yeah, it's not as precise as aluminium, hehe. :) Good luck
if i use three nema 17 motor with 300 mm lead screw, can i use a4988 stepper motor driver ?
motor carry just 1 kg (300*150 mm wooden block)
manas kundu If its for a 3d printer it definetly should not be a problem :)
very nice video editing and explanation. what software did you use to run that? i know it's impossible to run it on mach3 :))
Ali Hureiby Hi, I used the universal gcode sender program. I explain how to do it in some of my other videos if you watch the series. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Maby you can check out this video where I explain the software side of things :)

O sensei... you are AWSOME!!!! (with a scream)... kindly answer one query.. what do you prefer, a USB configured breakout board like the one you used here ( Arduino) or other parallel port configured boards. because its debated that USB configured boards are not that effective for real time operations like CNC. whats your take on this?
Hassan Sultan Hi, and thank you very much! :) I have more experience with USB like I use on my CNC machine so I have to say that I prefere those. But I have heard that the serial ones is more stable and has less interference from electronic noise and stuff. That said I have not had any problems with interference on my system. It also depends on what software you are using i suppose. Hope this help you out :) and again, thanks for your feedback 👍
Like 2.1K 👏👏👏👏👏
My stepper motor is not move in either direction ? What is the problem ... Could you suggest
Hmm, do you have power? Is all the wires correct? Or is it a software issue?
if i connect 3 stepper motor driver then all pin of arduino is to be filled then how to add extrapin to connect solenoid pin have any idea.
Amit Verma what do you want to control with this extra pin?
Im using the DVR8825 with the CNC shield and my steppers are hissing very loud, is there also a high frequency sound when the steppers stay still (with holding torque) with the TB6560?And lel 13:41, little video fail
CyberTom There was no sound on the NEMA17, I have not connected them to my machine and to my NEMA 23 yet. I had some hissingnoise when I used estlcam on my old controllers the CNC shield for the Arduino UNO. No fail, only fun in editing :-). I thought the video was way to long :) hehe
OK thanks
np 👍
Great......!!! Thanks a lot.
Md Kawser Ahmed No problem, sir :) Thanks for watching!
I cannot find the link on your site for the connection schematic :( This is a great video!
Thanks for watching 👍 do you mean this?: willysgaragenorway.no/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Arduino-and-TB6560-wiring-diagram-1.png
And or this: willysgaragenorway.no/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/tb6560pdf.pdf
Thank you! I am looking specifically on how to connect the stepper motors...it's not clear how to do that :(
DerekSpeare if you know the pairs of the stepper motor, there is no wrong way to connect it. Connect one pair to A+- and the other to B+- 👍🏻
Willy what version are you running on GRBL? I hooked up mine just like you have and all I get is a hissing sound from my motors. I tried playing with the steps since I had mine setup as full step with the cnc shield with no luck. I eventually burned out a board when I messing with the current dip switched on the tb6560. Any tips on whats going on? I ordered another board to try to do this as the cnc shield gets over heated with my nema 23 motors.
I am running grbl v1.1 - have you figured out what the problem was?
Hello
I have a motor (NEMA 23 LDO-57STH56-2804AC)
can I make it work with A4988
THANK YOU ahead
Is it a 4 wire og 6 wire motor?
You can get 6 wire to 4 wire connectors @@WillysGarageNorway great job your doing there are so many alternative ways to make these machines.
hi, i breaking my head over my DIY CNC, it runs, has to little torque. Use CNC shield, arduino, Nema17. Replaced everyting, upped the power 12 -> 36V. Adjusted the driver pots.... nothing really helps, still can hold the steppers by hand. Strange because if i see youtube lots of people build these, maybe they dont not tell about all the problem they ran into :-). Think i might try this also, have to downgrade my power supply again. Is you setup stronger now ? or can you sill hold it by hand ? Thanks for this video !
Hi, Im sorry you have problems. When i first built the machine I had it running on the cnc shield and NEMA17. Many did it on youtube and spoke of no problems but It was way to weak, like yours. Then I upgraded to the tb6560 and NEMA23's, It is so much stronger it realy can not compare at all. I am sure your nema17's also will be a lot stronger if you use the tb6560's or tb6600's
I think you stil might be able to use the 36v PSU
@@WillysGarageNorway wel i orderd the drivers and a new PSU, because drivers are input 24v advised i think. i hope i can keep te 17's because it gets a realy big machine :-)
I think you can try, make room to change them in the future 👍😀
@@WillysGarageNorway we see !
Hello! Thanks for a good video! Where can i find the GRBL and g-code sender?
ScinnerNo1 Hi and thanks :) Watch this video on how to get the GRBL and the universal gcode sender up and running: th-cam.com/video/ud75Zdolh-M/w-d-xo.html
I have 3 nema 17s and the same drivers and shield you had. If I wanted to upgrade *only* my X axis to a nema 23 can I wire the tb6560 into the shield and run the 2 nema 17's on the shield?? or do I have to buy all new drivers ? SoI want a nema 23 X axis, nema 17 Y axis nema 17 Z axis. Can I keep the shield and add the tb6560? Confused. Thank you Very good video.
Jeff Iscool Hi and thanks. There is no problem keeping the shield and adding one tb6560. You can use the pin outs marked x.step/dir on the left upper side on the shield. But you also need powersupply for the tb6560 👍🏻
Thank you SOOOOOOOO much !!!
Jeff Iscool no prob 😀
Can't find the diagram on your website :/ Still, thanks for this helpful video! You rock
Shao Kahn Hi, thanks and sorry :) the webpage is a work in progress :) here you are: willysgaragenorway.no/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/tb6560pdf.pdf

Shao Kahn No problem :) I have made some changes to the website now so things like diagrams should be more accessible. Http://www.Willysgaragenorway.no
I am building a robotic arm that requires 5 axis. UGS only supports 3. So do you have any ideas for this dilemma?
No, have you found a solution for this?
There is a 4 axis grbl on the open pnp project. I have some videos on my attempts making a pnp head.
check out anninrobotics.com he has a 6 axis solution, all open source with great video tutorials, he also sells kits for the build.
Nice bro pls link all connections
Did you find the wiring diagram?
Hi Willy! I have a chineese 3020 cnc that I would like to run with an Arduino and GRBL. Can I run it without any changes to the software if I hook up 4 TB6560 (It is a 4 axix 3020) with an Uno like you have done?
In theory yes, but Arduino UNO only have 3 axis. XYZ-axis. But you have to change the software settings so that the stepper motors runs in the right speed. You may ask me if you have any questions :)
Ok so no really hard "hacking". Do you have any suggestion if I want to use the 4th axis?
Then I would go for a mach3 or something. I dont have any experience with it thoo. Watch my GRBL config video for tips on changing the settings. And thanks for watching :)
Thanks for quick answer! I will have to search for a solution for the fourth axis.
The driver i want to take take is TB6560 with arduino uno
is that a good ????
That is very good and recomended 👍 I would buy a 24volt power supply for that setup
i will make cnc wood milling, am i suitable using tb6560? then what software is in use
thankss ^^
Hi, thanks for watching :-) In this video I explain what software I use and how to install them. Hope it helps :)

I have question,in the video you wired two X axis stepper motors with two TB6560 ,What if I wire two stepper with just one TB6560 ? is that enough for steppers in the X axis ?
You can not control two steppers from one controller You will have to get one controller for each stepper..
I have seen some people doing that ,this is way I asked , after all even inventables in there xcarve use one driver for two motors
Mohamed Amine BIDA Yes, I know it can be done. But you will have to be sure that the controllers or stepper drivers are ratet for the current two motors will draw when they are connected in parallell. So it can be done but personaly I think its wise to use one stepper driver for one stepper :-)
You can run two motors off one drive, but it is not smart.
