I Have The Power!

Hey folks, not much news to report today, I'm still grinding through software and will be for the next couple of days. 

Power!

Not sure who to credit for this, but if you're out there let me know!

I did start wiring up Mugsy for power though, check out this quick video of our beefy universal power switch:

Power splits to two sections, one to feed the grinder motor and the heating element while the other sends power to a 5V PSU. The 5V supply powers the pi, Arduino and bunch of other bits and then splits into a booster section to provide 12-20v for the stepper motor and water pumps.

Ok, thanks everyone! Next update will be on Friday.

Cheers,
