Beginings of the control electronics

Continuing the eShapeOko build

Control electronics
I've gone for an arduino with a buildlog shield and (eventually) four pololu stepper drivers. I'm liking the idea of a Raspberry Pi, Beagle bone black or pcDuino to control it all one day, but for the moment I'll be trying to get it working with an arduino and an old laptop.

So far I've soldered together the buildlog shield, the youtube videos are easy to follow:

I pulled the Easy stepper drivers from the histology robot so that I have some thing to make the motors move. Later I'll get the stepstick/pololu driver that fit the shield.

Next step making some motors move!...
