Super simple bootstrap 3-axis controller
by Shawn Wallace
This is the first variant of the "Fabian" board that I made; it is the simplest controller for three unipolar stepper motors you can imagine. I thought this might be useful for someone who is building a bootstrap machine with handtools. This board could be used as a controller to mill a better controller, which could then be used to mill out the final parts. Arduino-compatability means there are a lot of people out there who can program it. The firmware is a simple HPGL parser and moveto function.
