Step 3: CNC Electronics

The next and most expensive step is the electronics. I got the electronics kit from buildyourcnc.com and I made a box out of wood and plexiglass to house the electronics. The electronics kit included:
(3) 425 oz-in stepping motors
(3) Drivers (3.0Amp 24-40 Volts, 1-1/64 micro-stepping)
(1) 36v 8.8a Power Supply
(1) Breakout board
I wired all the electronics up and added a few more features such as, an e-stop switch, limit switches, and power switches for the router, shop vac, electronics, and the stepping motors.

Here you can view a video of the electronics:
