We loved Arduino Nano’s but always wanted a bit more performance and memory. So we decided to create a Arduino Nano compatible board but with an upgrade micro-controller that is similar to an Arduino Zero. They are now ready and shipping from our online store : Protoneer Online Store http://wiki.protoneer.co.nz/NANO-ARM Nano-ARM forum page
I am “quietly” enjoying the future of automobiles. Serious I love the sound the next generation of speeding cars are making…. The NextEV Nio EP9 is a stunning example of where we are heading. +1300HP from zero RPM. 0-200KM/h in under 8 seconds!!! It started with Formula E and they have now moved into the … Read More →
First of all thank you to all who responded to the Raspberry Pi CNC challenge. We received plenty of emails with amazing projects. Entries closed on the weekend and it was pretty hard to pick. Congratulations to the following people. Your boards will be on their way in the next few days… Charles Taylor … Read More →
UPDATE : Raspberry Pi CNC Challenge Update Hi everyone… I’m looking for help here. I am trying to improve the Raspberry Pi CNC board. I am willing to give away 10 pre-released Raspberry Pi CNC boards with the following new features:
As of Version 0.9, GRBL supports PWM for controlling variable spindles and lasers. (Both our Arduino CNC shield(V3.10+) and Raspberry Pi CNC Boards support the PWM functionality. ) To use the functionality there are two parts to look at. The first part is the way GRBL firmware is set up when compiled. Luckily most of … Read More →
Dimensions : 65 mm by 30 mm 4 mounting holes for M2.5 screws. Mini-HDMI Two Micro USB ports – One OTG USB and One Power USB. One Micro SD card reader. Raspberry Pi Zero Mounting holes : 58mm x 23mm
I am a great fan of Automation and with my recent venture into Hardware manufacturing( + limited resources) the need for automation has been highlighted. In a previous post I explained how to deploy firmware to hundreds of Micro-controllers with a simple script. My next adventure is with Toolchains. Toolchains are the software utilities/tools needed … Read More →
Do it yourself CNC projects are popping up everywhere and we decided that we wanted to contribute to the growth. Here are a few of our design goals: Modular Design – We wanted to do more than just keep cost down. We wanted things to be reusable and up-gradable. (Arduino , Individual Stepper Motor Drivers and … Read More →
Quick preview of how easy it would be to assemble a modular car frame. By using more efficient materials like light-weight carbon-fiber tubing, it reduces manufacturing cost by using less energy to ship raw materials.

I have lately been flashing a bunch of Arduino micro-controllers with GRBL and I had a small issue where an older version of GRBL’s settings were stuck in the Arduino’s EEPROM. To get around this I used a quick script from the Arduino website to clear it. I thought it would be useful for people … Read More →
