My CNC takes its first steps. Hello World.
... and I only ruined one Sharpie.
After far more than a weekend of work, I have wired up the Shapeoko's stepper motors to its Arduino and run my CNC through its first tests. The system has been tuned and calibrated and is now ready for a build. There were a lot of mistakes made along the way however... watch the video for the full story. Too lazy to write a debriefing now.
