Handwheel

internal Arduino Controller for Estlcam handwheel to be used with Estlcam v11 and higher[1].

Purpose

estlcam is a great tool to controll your CNC router. One feature is a handwheel which controlls the basic funktionality without the need of Keyboard or mouse. But for me it was not enough to controll Estlcam with the handwheel, i desired to controll up to four mor relais outputs. due to the lack of wires in the cable i needed a controller placed inside the handwheel to

  • Toggle Relais states (only Relais 1-3)
    • press of button AUX1-3 changes State of Relais 1-3
    • LEDs arround Buttons show Relais states
    • default all Relais off
  • control LEDs of Estlcam controlled Buttons (except X,Y,Z)
    • select (cycle) modes using AUX4 Button
      • All LEDs ON (default)
      • only OK
      • PGM Start/Stop and Spindle Start/Stop
      • All OFF
