== sudoroom CNC machine instructions
it is composed of a few components:
- an internet connected desktop windows PC that runs special software: mach3 (icon on desktop)
- a hacked engraver that does the milling
- a stepper driver that sits between the PC and the engraver and communicates via parallel port
mach3 only accepts gcode. you can either use your own gcode or use the program on the PC called CamBam to generate the gcode.
until we make better tutorials for CamBam please only use the CNC if you can get a CamBam tutorial from someone.
