The RepRap folks are using the ATmega 644P, which has more I/O pins than the Arduino, but less than the Mega (which is an ATmega 1280). And they're not running an operating system, so there's less overhead.
I don't know about most people, but I can get stacks of used stepper motors more or less for free. I don't have a source for free servos and/or encoders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
