An interesting Arduino project has been published to the Instructables website showing how an Arduino CNC shield and controller has been used to create an awesome 3 axis Arduino CNC plotter.

While there are a couple of open-source brushless drivers already available, [neuromancer2701] created his own brushless motor controller on an Arduino ... design and source code are available ...

The Arduino code mainly consists of function declarations ... triggers the motor driver (connected to two DC motors) to move the box either forward or backward for a few short seconds.

Driving a brushless DC (gimbal) motor can be a pain in the transistors. [Ignas] has written up a nice article not only explaining how to do just this with an Arduino, but also explaining a little ...
