This is an Instructables on how I made an Arduino based Laser CNC wood engraver and Thin paper cutter using old DVD drives, 250mW laser. Playing area is 40mm x 40mm max. Isn’t it fun making a own machine out of old things? Step 1: Parts and Materials Required Arduino Nano (with usb cable) 2x …

Before we begin, just note, that while this all works, I believe the output is scaled wrong. The noise floor is very high. But from everything I have found it looks like this is how it is. We have covered, accelerometers, GPSs, compasses… But no gyros. Why? Not sure, but I figured today I would …
One of the first articles we did was on the hmc6352 digital compass. Well this is his older brother (or younger but smarter). I really don’t know what to say about the HMC5883L other than it is a three axis magnetometer, so it is capable of sensing in 3 directions. That doesn’t mean that it …
I’ve seen a number of tutorials about how to build the platform for a 3-axis CNC milling machine. I have not seen anyone tackle the tricky subject of the electronics. Here now is my attempt to do so. Step 1: Parts You’ll need: – an arduino. I chose duemilanova. (depends on the board you get) …
