Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Semiautomatic PCB Drilling Machine Update

Looking forward to seeing the router project. It's a breath of fresh air to
see projects so well documented, if only I could do the same myself. It would
make what I was thinking at the time much clearer, that might not always be a
good thing though :)
For the Atmels, I tried a few suits for both AVS and PIC's but never felt
comfortable with them and, in the end, stuck with the command line for
everything. Saying that the gnu PIC simulator has been worth its weight in
gold on plenty of occasions. Tried the gcc AVR simulator a few times but
didn't really get to grips with it.
On thing with the avr's, they are quirky to use with assembler because they
are designed with C as the primary target, I kind of shoot myself in the foot
by sticking to assembler (not my fault, I was taught basic when I was
young.. :) ) when it is generally agreed that the performance gains with
assembler are very small compared to compiled C code.
Anyway.. I'm not exactly sticking to the groups intended purpose here.
Like the idea for automatic alignment, hadn't thought about that. With so many
straight lines it would be fairly simple to square things up then rotate the
image and correct the axis to suit.
That's the trouble with image processing, the possibilities are incredible.
Trouble is, so is the time involved :)
