Demonstration illustrating what happens when you leave a nerd with a license of LabView, an Arduino, some stepper motors, and an Etch-a-Sketch. My CNC etch-a-sketch system uses LabView to analyze and covert a jpg image into a continuous line drawing, then command an Arduino to drive the stepper motors coupled to the Etch-a-Sketch. The original design used a National Instruments USB DAQ, but then I realized I could save a few hundred bucks by using an Arduino instead.
Please check out my other video (youtu.be/d6EGvCpYj6U) with more details of how my CNC Arduino Etch-a-Sketch works or my Easydriver Stepper Motor Tutorial video (youtu.be/nafoHAhz8Ys). Be sure to like, share, and subscribe so that my new YouTube channel can pick up some traction and I can continue to post interesting and useful videos for my follow hobbyists. Thanks for watching!
