| You'll either need to write g-code by hand, or get a CAD/CAM program to do it.

| You dont NEED a breakout board, but it will make it much easier to hook everything up. Some popular ones can be found at: www.campbelldesigns.com www.pmdx.com www.cnc4pc.com All should have wiring diagrams included with them to help get you going. If you need more specific help, just ask.
