DIY FLOPPY DRIVE CNC: Part 10 - Final Setup + EMC2 Control
Finito! Now you have made your first Computer Numeric Control Machine!!! (If you followed the instructions, and they are good enough...) In this video we show how to set up EMC2 CNC Software and run a test. These probably are not the optimal settings, if you find settings that work good, please post them in the comments for others to use! :) Have fun and post any questions you may have :D
