> I'm interested in building a pcb plotter for hobbiest use. There are several design guides 'out there' for this. I looked in to it a while ago to see if I could build a automatic PCB drill machine:
My favorite: http://freeandeasy.sourceforge.net/ "We have built a prototype XY table, but due to its complexity and the requirement for expensive slideways and ballscrews, we have rejected the XY table in favour of a design for a rotary table we came up with which has a much simpler mechanical construction (though the maths is harder!). Click here for more details and an interactive simulation, and here for pictures and movies of our prototype rotary table in action."

Search for "cnc home" or "cnc hpgl" etc. turns up a few as well. -- Author: Bob Paddock INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB CHIPDIR-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
