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

thank's, i will do that. len
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.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.
