Description

If PC based CNC controls are your thing, then you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing hardware. However if you prefer a stand-alone control system, then your hardware options are somewhat limited. The iMOVE motion controller is an all-in-one stand-alone system that goes some way to leveling the playing field. Designed to work harmoniously with the awesome GRBL firmware, the iMOVE incorporates an ATmega328 microcontroller, all GRBL I/O, a configurable analog output, and four digital stepper drives. See below for updates.

update #2

More exciting news! We're upgrading to an ARM microcontroller to take full advantage of the next evolution of GRBL. This will be a huge leap in performance and features - more details released over the coming weeks.

update #1

We’re excited to announce that the iMOVE controller will be powered by Geckodrive G250 motor controls. Geckodrive are legendary among the CNC community, and their stepper drives are considered by many to be the gold standard. Made in the USA, Geckodrive motor controls offer mid-band resonance compensation, high speed step morphing, and tunable low speed smoothness. The G250 is a digital stepper drive rated to 3.5A/50V, and is suitable for Nema 17 - 34 stepper motors.
