Classic NES Controller Manipulates X, Y & Z Axis Of DIY CNC Mill<\/h2>\n

Check out this awesome electronics\/digifab hack from Edward Ford, who\u00a0created and assembled this NES controller operated DIY CNC mill<\/a>. He used his Personal Factory to lasercut the MDF<\/a> and added an Arduino and some SparkFun easy drivers<\/a>\u00a0for control. The result is an amazing\u00a0Arduino 3 Axis CNC. Check out how it works in this video:<\/p>\n

If “CNC + Edward Ford” rings a bell, it’s because he recently launched a Kickstarter project to raise funds for the design and free distribution of a $300 CNC mill \u2014 the ShapeOko<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With 20 days left to go, the campaign has already more than doubled it’s funding goal. Wow!<\/p>\n
