I like to visualize things, so I decided to prepare this simple tutorial to help you better understand how to visualize data using Arduino. This tutorial assumes that you have some basic electronics ...

In this project I will show you how to easily build your own low-cost Arduino Mini CNC Plotter! Ardunino based CNC plotter machine – made from two dvd drives!

Check out the demonstration videos below to see the home-made CNC plotter in action. “Today, I would like to share how to build a 3 axis CNC machine at home using available or discarded materials.

Being only ten at the time I was unable to build the thing and, now that I’m 40, I still can’t fathom how to build this DIY CNC plotter out of a DVD player and some Arduino gear.

From there it gets converted to serial commands for an Arduino which controls the steppers with two EasyDrivers. The build itself is really nice.
