Abstract
In this report a practical CNC router system is proposed, combining image processing,
serial port interfacing and control of servo motor using PIC microcontroller 16F877A. Image visualization method manipulated in MATLAB, serial port interfacing also carried out in MATLAB with LCD support. The servo motors were controlled by PIC microcontroller using Proton Pro coding in
simple C. It also includes the modification of servo motor to make it rotate full revolution of 360°, also with the full construction of the mechanical part of the project. This report describes the major background areas relevant to the project. A discussion of hard ware implementation is presented, including component selection, with the majority of hardware implemented successfully. Major issues encountered are introduced, as areas of possible expansion of functionality.
