Arduino Code For CNC Machine

This document contains code for controlling a mini CNC plotter. It includes functions for initializing servo motors and stepper motors, processing incoming G-code commands to move the plotter or raise/lower the pen, and drawing lines by breaking them into incremental steps. The main loop receives G-code commands via serial and processes them to draw or control the plotter.
