What effort is involved in creating a basic fully funcitoning system?

Hi,

I am fairly new to CNC, just recently got my 3/4 axis stepper motors working, built the power source, interface cable and Chopper Drivers..

Now i have been looking for an all in one package (motor controllor, G-code interpereter and basic drawing tool), is there anything out there like this?

I will be creating a 2D cnc router/scriber,

I have lots of source code to create smooth lines, equasion based diagrams, etc..

i was also thinking of using something like powerpoint as a diagramming tool..

any comments?

Excel can be used as a diagramming tool.

Found this on the web. I do not know the source. Great learning tool. It is a teaching guide for matrix rotation.

thanks, that is really great, i would assume that you could only have one shape at a time in the graph component.. Still looking around at the best solution for the diagrammer... Thanks for the support!
