I am a newbie looking to build a cnc machine, but have been trying to determine how difficult it would be to assemble the hobbycnc board myself. I can build anything out of wood, work on anything mechanical, but I deffinately had problems with my electrical engineering classes. I have to admit I am not sure about PCB soldering either.

How hard is it to determine placement on the boards? I have bad memories of schematics and determining the voltage across this and that.

Suggestions needed. I do not have a great deal of money to buy a prebuilt unit at this time, thus my serious consideration of this avenue.

Thank you
