There is a wiki page. It's not complete yet, just let me know what you need. The firmware is still work in progress. I'm planning to use a bootloader so it can be reprogrammed using the serial port. I'm still porting the bootloader code to compile using the mpide compiler instead of using the compiler provided by microchip.

I haven't finished building the DIP version as I'm still waiting for the pcbs to arrive. The BOM for the other one is in the repository. For PICnc Jr (DIP version) I'm using PIC32MX150F128B. This board is geared towards reprap and the small cnc such as shapeoko which uses the nema17 motors. Do note that the firmware is not yet ready for this board.
