This is the most common Arduino CNC Shield design and is a versatile tool. https://www.mysainsburys.net/

stepper not moving only huming why is that?

The Driver pictured here is a EasyDriver (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12779) the one in the shopping list is the newer model BigEasyDriver, so the diagram is different. (I'm trying to replicate this so I'm getting all the info I can) Some additional info: http://ebldc.com/?p=253

You can use BigEasyDriver also.

Hello, I'm new on this, and trying to follow up your instructions, the first observation is that I think you can either buy the 3 adafruit steppers or use the ones from the cd-rom drive correct? (I ordered both o_o ) second, the cd-room stepper has 4 pins, how do I know which pin goes with what on the easy driver board (the same if I use the adafruit motors? Any additional info is appreciated.

Hii Straylight-uhura-9 it's nice hearing from you. I have used cd-rom drive but you can use any 6pin or 4pin stepper motors. In this project the machine only plot sketches and for that purpose motor doesnot need high current to drive. But if you want to mount a drill machine or you want to use this machine for PCB design or Milling purposes than higher current stepper motors and drivers must be used. EasyDrivers has 150mA/phase to 700mA/phase adjustible current and Power supply range from 6V to 30V which can handle cd-rom drives easily. Other similar drivers can be used for high current ranges e,g 1. A4988 Stepper Motor Driver https://www.pololu.com/product/1182 2. DRV8825 Stepper Motor Driver https://www.pololu.com/product/2133

Nice... Why you include servo in your code ? You use 3 stepper motors.

It will be VERY useful if list of supplies reflect real items you are use for this project. Also, when you describe wiring step - picture of real life connections from "harvested" DVD step motors to step motor driver will be helpful as well. I am eager to repeat this project, but as it is right now It will be easy just engineer one myself.
