Hey everyone,<br>
<br>
So I missed Maker Faire Ottawa... Didn&#39;t have enough money to get out t=
here unfortunately... oh well hope it was a blast!<br>
<br>
So here&#39;s something cool. I have a bunch of KP4M4-001 unipolar stepper =
motors and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of hardware I need to t=
urn them into a CNC plotter. I was planning possibly using my arduino to ru=
n some G-Code but I am unsure as to how to drive them. I have read that you=
 can do it with a darlington array IC but I don&#39;t know much about getti=
ng the various g-code interpreters available for the arduino to talk to the=
 controllers properly... anyone with any information?<br>
