Mainboard Mini


The mainboard forms the foundation for all components and is required once for a control system.

ControllerModule


One ControllerModule can be connected to the OPEN-CNC-Shield 2 Mini. The ControllerModule determines which software is used for the CNC. Supported functions can be found in the documentation: ControllerModules

PanelModules


Exactly one PanelModule can be connected to the OPEN-CNC-Shield 2 Mini. The PanelModule serves as the interface for external control elements, such as a handwheel. Depending on the ControllerModule, the connection options for external controls may vary. Be sure to consult the controller documentation: ControllerModules.

For WinPC and Beamicon, external handwheels are connected directly to the computer via USB or LAN, making them independent of the OPEN-CNC-Shield 2. Therefore, a PanelModule is not required for these controllers.

External Control Elements


Here you can find accessories for building external control elements. Note that, as mentioned before, the use of external control elements also depends on the ControllerModule. Therefore, be sure to consult the controller documentation: ControllerModules.

In combination with Estlcam or the ColdEnd32, you can find a suitable overview here:  Handwheel Estlcam / ColdEnd32

Bedienelement Set 4
Bedienelement Set 4

With this control element set, you can build your own control panel for Estlcam or a CNC milling machine. Note: if you use pre-designed enclosures, always pay attention to the dimensions of the individual components. In my enclosure designs, I have included the Fusion360 file so the button, switch, and potentiometer sizes can be adjusted accordingly. More information in my blog post Scope of Delivery 1x Encoder/handwheel 1x 4-axis joystick 10K 2x Push buttons – 16mm stainless steel – white LED – 5V – on/off symbol (Program/Motor Start/Stop) – IP67 1x Push button – 16mm stainless steel – white LED – 5V – right angle symbol (Autosquaring) – IP67 2x Potentiometers – 10k Ohm 1x Latching switch – 16mm stainless steel – white LED – 5V (Motor disable or Speed1/2) – IP67 1x Display 128x64 – OLED 1x On/Off rocker switch Further Links Matching enclosure on Thingiverse Guide for this handwheel version

ESP32 Panel Integrated Battery Platine
ESP32 Panel Integrated Battery Platine

The ESP32 Panel Integrated Battery Board is designed for building external control panels. The ESP32 on the board communicates via WiFi with the OPEN-CNC-Shield 2. Its functionality is tailored for use with the Estlcam ControllerModule. When using a different controller, functionality may be significantly limited. Please refer to the documentation of each ControllerModule for details. Functions: WiFi communication - 2.4GHz - ESPNOW protocol Power supply via RJ45 or USB-C Dedicated signal line for the encoder in the RJ45 cable (the encoder signal is not transmitted via WiFi. A connection via RJ45 cable to the PanelModule RJ45 is required) Power supply possible through 2 x 18650 batteries Charging electronics with safety cutoff for 18650 batteries Battery charging via RJ45 connection to OCS2 or USB-C All inputs can be conveniently remapped in the ESP32 web interface software and used for other functions Various optional connection options: 4-pin - 5V encoder 3-axis joystick with OK button (for axis zeroing) Motor Start/Stop button Program Start/Stop button Feedrate potentiometer (feed speed) Rotation speed potentiometer (spindle speed) Autosquare button Axis selection X, Y, and Z (to select the axis for the encoder) No longer supported by Estlcam v12, but inputs can be remapped in software for other functions 4 free buttons (e.g., for power-off function or Speed1/Speed2) Connection for I2C, typically for a display Scope of delivery: ESP32 Panel Integrated Battery Board Commissioning: Examples of wiring can be found in the documentation. When new batteries are inserted, power must first be connected briefly via USB-C. Normal operation will then function afterward. Further links: Documentation Software / Firmware Connection diagram

Accessories


Here you can find general accessories.
The ESP32 is already integrated in the OCS2 Mini. However, the above handwheel boards require an ESP32.

The Arduino Mega is needed for the Estlcam ControllerModule or the GRBL Mega ControllerModule.
