Re: Home page pic

When I get the tool changer working and such, I will provide photos
and a description - heck that's half the fun of this stuff.

Yes, they are tiny little Nema 17 motors, picked them up on Ebay for
a good price, and, for the original design, they are perfect for a
plotter. However, seeing as I changed my mind and decided to make a
PCB machining center out of this thing, I am not 100% sure they will
work. When I was writing and testing the motion control software,
they sure seemed to have a heck of a lot of force through those fine
pitched screws so I am 98.87623% sure they will work just fine.
