 * suspect the supplied driver being bad or wired wrong.
 * moving successfully all 3 axis using an easy-driver controller - a common stepper driver for <750mA steppers.
 * i would like to try running the miniCNC using different controller, preferably a RAMPS board (elecfreaks.com)

 * milling fine PCB traces calls for leveling the bed-

= software = slightly configured (page 84) i mounted the live linuxCNC disk and installed ubuntu on the cnc machine PCs got a conf file from mydiycnc site (named MyDIYCNC.stepconf) conf files are used to setup the configuration of new machines.
 * KCAM 4 (demo version) -
 * linuxCNC

following the linuxCNC configuration file


 * MACH3
