I just finished my c-beam build this weekend. I opted for an arduino with grbl and some cheap tb6560 stepper drivers. With a little help from google and @Metalguru, my drivers are configured and the machine is running.
I used a proto-board from amazon to build a shield with screw terminals to sit atop my arduino to easily connect to my drivers. However, once I began wiring it all up, I was a little less than pleased. Everything works, but my shield needed a redesign....
