I'm trying hard for SparkFun's free day, I had my shopping cart all full of goodies, but I just can't get through to the checkout page!

Been Busy

 
But I have managed to put together a McWire Cartesian bot for doing some CNC work. I'm hoping it is stiff enough for light aluminum cutting, if not I'll use it just for circuit boards. This picture has just the X and Y axes, but I finished the Z last night as well. Just waiting for stepper motors from the MakerBot store. I have an old dell server setup to run Linux EMC2 for the control and I'll be using Tom McWire's easy stepper circuit control.

woot.

Forgive me

I love physics jokes.

Plausible Deniability

I have no idea if his political opinions are at all useful, helpful or realistic, but you have to admire the governator's style.

Motor Turns

The motor is turning, have gone through program and am starting to remember what it was I was trying to do. Next step will be too pack everything up as I am moving at the end of the month. I will however have some time to work on the program.

Woot.

Progress

Getting there. Motor is turning. Can't seem to control speed though. I don't remember my program.
