The CNCPlotter is a complete, self-contained Arduino Leonardo compatible board with 2 onboard stepper motor drivers. The board was designed by Luke Weston to control the "HackCNC" simple CNC/plotter kit, but it's a fantastic general purpose board for any project that uses stepper motors. You can use it as the brain of your next robotics project!
