CNC Controller with Arduino and Gamepad

Hi,

I've made a cnc controller based on an Arduino UNO for my cnc mill - maybe someone has some use for it:

• Its free and open source (VB.NET 2010 / AVR Studio 6 Assembler... not exactly an Arduino project - it just uses one as convenient and inexpensive hardware platform).
• Uses a wireless Logitech gamepad to manually control the machine from a few steps per second up to full speed.
• Controls the VFD of my chinese spindle with just 2 resistors, 1 capacitor and 1 optocoupler...
• Quite fast... >>70000 steps per second...
• Some built in commands for drilling, circles, rectangles etc. with macro editor - quite nice for simple tasks that may be done without CAM program...
