- Firmware:
- Keep motors always on, in order to do homing only once each milling session
- Misc:
- Create assembly instructions
Firmware
- No news, it is Marlin with support for G30 probing command
- Open Source SMT Pick and Place Hardware and Software https://github.com/openpnp/openpnp via Marcos Villacampa (@MarkVillacampa)
- Water-cooled spindle motors! http://www.goodluckbuy.com/electronics/motor-and-controller.html via Marcos Villacampa (@MarkVillacampa)
- We could use a thermistor to measure the temperature of the spindle motor: this way the software could "let it rest" when it gets too hot.
