Connection to USB-CNC
The breakout board can also be connected to the USB CNC
controller V5A with an additional adapter. For a correct function of
the watchdog the jumpers "WDCF" on the USB-CNC board must be
plugged in as follows: upper jumper on the left, lower jumper on the
left. The jumper "Volt-PWM" must be set to the right (PWM).
On the breakout board the jumper pin no. 9 must be connected to
pin no. 2 with a wire jumper. The jumpers 4-5 and 6-7 must be
plugged in, pins 1, 3 and 8 remain free. The remaining jumpers 10-
11 and 12-16 can be set as described above depending on the
application.
The load capacity of the 5V output at X1 has been increased from
150mA to 0.5A, so that the USB CNC board can be supplied from the breakout board and no extra 5V power
supply is necessary. Please note that the load capacity of the 12V output (for fans) is reduced to 250mA when the
5V output is loaded to its maximum.
Configuration in Beamicon2 and Beamicon2-Basic
In the Beamicon2 or Beamicon2-Basic control software only the CNC-Pod or Micropod module is selected. All
settings are now preconfigured. Only for special applications or tasks are adjustments necessary. (plug & play)
