Tutorial: How to Use End-of-Travel Module V. 1.2

The End-of-Travel Module V. 1.2 is crucial for CNC 3D printers, allowing motors to stop correctly when reaching the movement limit.

What you need

• CNC 3D Printer
• Arduino or compatible controller
• Connecting to the circuit

Steps

1. Step 1: Connect the GND, VCC, and signal lines of the module to corresponding pins on the Arduino.
2. Step 2: Verify the movement limit configuration in your CNC 3D printer.
3. Step 3: Insert the module into the 3d printer control circuit.
4. Step 4: Configure the module’s input pins in Arduino IDE.
5. Step 5: Verify the electrical specifications on the datasheet to ensure compatibility.
6. Step 6: Compile and upload the Arduino sketch to the controller.
7. Step 7: Test the end-stop module functionality.
8. Step 8: Adjust any configuration parameters as needed.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(pinFineCorsa, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
  if(digitalRead(pinFineCorsa) == HIGH){
    // Arresta i motori
  }
}
