Designed as a complete hardware companion for the grbl CNC motion control firmware, it turns an Arduino Uno into a capable CNC controller for mills, routers, laser cutters, and other motion-control projects.\n\nVersion 5 adds compatibility with the Arduino Due via a power jumper that allows native 3.3V operation, in addition to standard 5V operation with the Uno and other ATmega328P-based boards. Three TI DRV8818 stepper drivers provide reliable, high-current motor control with 8× microstepping.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n3-Axis Stepper Control – X, Y, and Z axes on a single shield\n\nTI DRV8818 Drivers – Three robust stepper drivers at 2.5A per winding\n\n8× Microstepping – Smooth, precise motor movement\n\ngrbl Compatible – Purpose-built for the grbl CNC firmware\n\nArduino Uno & Due Support – V5 power jumper for 3.3V or 5V operation\n\nOpen Pin Pass-Through – Access unused Arduino pins for limit switches, spindle control, etc.\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nStepper Drivers: 3× TI DRV8818\n\nCurrent per Winding: 2.5A\n\nMicrostepping: 8×\n\nInput Voltage: 12–30V (screw terminal)\n\nLogic Voltage: 5V (Uno) or 3.3V (Due, via jumper)\n\nAxes: 3 (X, Y, Z)\n\n\nCompatibility\n\nArduino Uno and ATmega328P-based boards (5V)\nArduino Due (3.3V via power jumper)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nDIY CNC mills and routers\nLaser cutter and engraver builds\n3-axis motion control systems\ngrbl-based CNC projects\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Synthetos gShield V5\n\n\nResources\n\ngrbl Wiki (GitHub)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":8928,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-1750","price":147.37,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
