Arduino CNC

Former Member

I ama building a CNC machine. I am at the point to figure out what to drive it with. I am looking at the Arduino but don't want to spend the money on a project board and then loose the dev board to the project. Originally I was going to use a PIC. How do you move the dev stuff to something that doesn't use the development board? Or am I thinking of this wrong? I really want to use the Arduino but is it the best option?

    Ben starts off with a standard Arduino board and then switches to the RepRap motherboard which was designed for the RepRap 3D printer project:

    MakerBot has a similar board:

    Take a look at the element14 Arduino group, too:
