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 shield.

The Arduino has been used for many purposes, and “shields” are available to make many common tasks easier. However, [Nick] wanted a stackable motor driver shield, so he build one himself!.

The High Power H-Bridge Motor Shield for Arduino is equipped with built-in current sensing utilizing the ACS712, and is capable of driving any DC motor up to 15Amp.

Enrico shows how his Infineon TLE94112EL motor controller shield can be put to work through a simple Arduino sketch.

Arduino devices have had the option of a GSM linkup for awhile, but getting that cellular link to truly strut its stuff hasn't always been easy, even for those of us who'd be inclined to program ...
