Click For Summary
Drilling a PCB using two step motors controlled by a microcontroller involves programming the microcontroller to interpret coordinates from design files created in Eagle or OrCAD. Users seek guidance on how to integrate these design files with the microcontroller for accurate drilling. Resources and existing projects, such as a computer-controlled milling machine kit from "Elektor," are suggested for reference. Additionally, a specific university, Ateneo de Naga, is mentioned as having developed a similar project. Understanding the integration of software and hardware is crucial for successful PCB drilling.

Hello.

I need to know the mechanism of drilling my printed circuit board (PCB) with two step motors x,y using microcontroller.

How to use eagle or orcad to control two step motors to drill and how can the microcontroller accept the eagle file to locate the coordinates of the driller?

Thanks in advance!

You want to make your own x-y-z PCB drill machine? What resources do you have available?
 
A European magazine called "Elektor" did a kit for a computer controlled milling machine last year.
 
Hi.. someone has already made that idea of yours in reality.. it is computer based driller. if you are interested go to college of engineering Ateneo de Naga University...
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
