This is where I'm at for now. I am planning on finishing up my priming today, and continue to wait for my bearings. I'll keep posting my progress.
One thing I wanted to get some input on is the controller/power/etc. I was originally going to go with the Xylotex setup (for the ease of setup and being all prewired and whatnot), but after reading up on them I think I'm going to go with something else due to the problems a few people have had working with the Xylotex.
I've been looking at the HobbyCNC Pro package and the walkthroughs of getting them put together; I do have experience with soldering, but nothing past working with Xboxes and Playstations - does anyone know if the solder points are as fine as that type of work, or is HCNC board and the solder points fairly large and easy to work with?
Any input on a good all around package for power, controller, and motor size?
Thanks much!
