In complete — if you happen to add up the entire totally different sections — it is a 12-axis CNC machine.

The Autochef-9000’s central controller is an Arduino Mega 2560 board. However even with the ability and variety of pins accessible, that wouldn’t have been in a position to deal with every thing. So it divvies out some duties to Arduino UNO Rev3 boards.
