This could be interesting, once you hit the translate button anyways…

This is basically my setup. 4 easy drivers (dual x axis motors) arduino running grbl which is open source gcode interpreter for arduino. I don’t use a 9v battery though… I use a 24v supply for the motors
@Daniel_Would
Perhaps they are just using the 9V battery as a depiction of a power source? I can’t imagine you’d get much run time out of a dry cell with a stepper motor.
Makes me wonder how much time you could get out of an arduino board with a 9v. Have one now, so maybe I’ll try it with a small looping led program…
@Daniel_Would Having had a bad day of wrestling with old PC’s and linux CNC (with zero success on the linux part), I was going to ask you if you could do a write up detailing your arduino setup… Then I found this:

Thanks for the details…
@Mat_Helm let me know if there are questions not answered in my blog posts.
@Mat_Helm
When I setup LinuxCNC and ran into problems I received help from their IRC channel. You can find that on this network http://chat.freenode.net
The channel’s name is #linuxcnc
The forum on their website is pretty good too. My information is a little old now though. I haven’t been on their channel, or website in a long time. So I hope it is still active.
