Update

Hey folks, hope all is well! This will be a fairly short update just to share a couple of things. Here are the bits:

Microcontroller Code

I have released a rough-ish version of the microcontroller code. It is fully functional but I have left in some shortcuts and garbage I was using while testing. It will eventually live in its own Mech Control repo but I have added it to the Operator repo temporarily so it’s out there. You can find it in the microcontroller folder of the repo here: https://github.com/MugsyOS/operator/

On initial power up, the spout will zero itself and from there it’s ready to accept move commands for both the spout and the cone. Here is a quick demo, with the serial output overlayed:

In this example, the spout is moving to specific pour lanes as opposed to the continuous sweep I have shown previously.

Once I have a chance to push my final pass on the code in a day or two, it will mark the completion of this part of the project.

I’m currently digging into the todo list so I can share a breakdown on remaining work but that is still a couple of days away.

Next update will be out in 2-3 days.

Cheers!
