About Arduino CNC Controller APK
Table Of Contents
Description
This APP is a controller to create a CNC Mill (Computer Numerical Control).You can create your own CNC Mill, using a Android device tablet/mobile/PC with Android-x86, and connect it to Arduino Mega 2560 R3 board via USB Port. Arduino Mega control 3 stepper motors that move a manual mill, and finally you obtain an CNC Mill.
Theoretically you can also use Android TV Box, but must include library package USB HOST and 2 devices I've tested Android TV Box with Android version 4.0 and 4.2.2 manufacturers not included.
The Android device must have OTG USB Host port to connect to "Arduino Mega 2560 R3", and you need a USB OTG cable.
This APP is designed for a low cost tablet with Android 4.0 and must have a minimum resolution of 800x480 pixels. Works on tablets only 1 core, but really if the tablet is faster mill moving faster, so it is recommended that have 4 cores.
There is a window of "Help and documentation" within the APP that explains the process (you can also download this help in PDF format on the project website http://sourceforge.net/projects/arduinocnccontroller/files ). Has instructions on how to connect the Arduino, you can use 3 standard "Arduino Motor Shield R3" to control 3 bipolar stepper motors. There is also an example for connect 3 unipolar stepper motors using 3 standard "Arduino Motor Shield R3". And there is a third example of a design of a shield board no standard for unipolar stepper motors with it's program. There are links to CAD/CAM programs and other sites.
The APP can be run in virtual mode, only with a Android device, without being connected to any milling machine, so you can practice and understand that their operation is based.
It is noted that is a BETA version so may have errors.
Latest updates
What's new in version 1.0
In the window "Settings" disappear the field "Pause (milliseconds) to update screen information" (see comments on "Help and Documentation"). Internally the APP automatically synchronize the 2 threads. So for user the APP run in a more the correct form, and response much faster when touch on the screen.How to install Arduino CNC Controller APK on Android phone or tablet?

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
