It's been a while since I posted here. Hope everyone is well and prospering.
As part of keeping busy during Covid lockdown, I started a business designing and selling CNC breakout boards. Here is my current product. As a proof of concept exercise, I purchased an Avid Pro4848 frame/mechanicals and am designing/building the electronics (using my BOB). I have been blogging the progress and wanted to share it with you all. Here is where it currently stands today (pun semi-intended).
