I guess the title is self explanatory, but a bit of background should help my cause. I plan on building something similar to Tom McGuire's.
http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-to-Build-Desk-Top-3-Axis-CNC-Milling-Machine/
I like his design but am looking for suggestions. I'm somewhat new to electronics but have completed the Mims books and can understand and breadboard schematics with a pretty good success rate. I cannot and do not have the means to do toner transfer at this time and don't plan on using it for this project . After I breadboard it, it will be transferred directly to R.S. perforated boards. I'll be running this contraption with EMC2 Linux.
*Any dummy proof suggestions as to a super simple motor controller I can build? Break out board as well? ...Or is this my golden ticket?
I realize this is probably a common question but I'm still kind of 'rock stick fire' here and haven't found much on the web. Electronics isn't my main hobby. I just want the machine for small foundry patterns and PCB fabrication (some day).
Thanks in advance!
Eddie
