Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] New RepRap Design: MendelMax :: Thanks!

I posted on the site BUT I just needed a direction by someone that KNOWS
where to go first. (ie: FAQ)
Guess I just need to start with where to find an inexpensive Arduino
board and some parts to get started.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
