Building a Pick&Place Machine
This is the starting point of my build documentation.
Some general remarks are in order:
- Most of this is documented after the fact, when a certain “maturity” of the solution is reached. While a “life” blog is more authentic, I wanted to spare the reader much of the drama of mistakes, mishaps and misdirection, long blackouts due to missing spare time and … yes, possibly a project that never gets finished.
- Having said that, I will openly document important “fails” as such, for others not to step into the same poodoo.
- I’m a professional, university trained technical software engineer. However all knowledge in electronics, machine control, mechanics (etc.) is acquired as a enthusiast hobbyist.
- I’m standing on the shoulders of giants here. Even if it is not permanently mentioned, this is always implied with great thankfulness. Hoping this blog will be helpful to others.
- I have no commercial association with any of the companies or products mentioned here. If I praise a product, it’s simply because I like it.
- Please always bear in mind that English is not my native language. If you find texts incomprehensible or otherwise lacking, please speak up.
- Some of this may be associated with electrical, fire and other safety hazards. Please be safe (and respect your local law).
- All information provided here comes without any warranty or other legal promise whatsoever.
