Stepper motors are precise and powerful tools used in every type of precision cutting and manufacturing including CNC machines, mills, lathes, printers, laser cutters and more!

The Arduino microcontroller is capable of integrating with a CNC shield to control several stepper motors required for a 3axis gantry found in CNC and 3D printing applications. We need the GRBL library installed on the Arduino and we use the Universal GCode Sender IDE to actually control the stepper positions!
