Could you draw a wiring diagram for external drivers and the rpi cnc shield? Great build!
C-Beam Machine - MyFirstCNC
Build in 'X/Y Table Style CNC Mill' published by Paul Stoller, Mar 30, 2018.
This is my first foray into CNC machines, after much review I decided on the C-Beam machine as it seemed easy to work with and will enabled me to build more and larger machines as I gain knowledge. I am planning on building the machine largely unmodified from the reference design. I will be building the machine an axis at a time as I need to spread out costs over time.

Here is a diagram for the Pi hat I'm using. The connections should be the same as the driver sold in the parts store I believe. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/DrcAAOSwzaJX54aD/s-l1600.jpg

Aussie584 /5,
Great start. You must be 'itching' to get all the bits and start machining. Mind is due to arrive as a full build 'kit' shortly - any words of wisdom? Are you a Windows or Mac person? All the best.

I am very ready to get started working on things, but getting everything budgeted is taking some time. I'm not sure I have any advice yet, the assembly of the mechanical bits was pretty straight forward if you watch through the build video once or twice. I may have other things to add once I get further along into the electronics. I'm mainly a windows guy but work in the mac world at times.
