After 7 years of @mirobot_io it's time for a change: mime.co.uk/blog/2018/05/24/a… Thanks for all of the support everyone.

Anybody want a load of old stepper driver circuits, some with driver chips, some without? Just pay shipping!

well that’s a good start :-)
how’s the torque from those steppers?
laser cutting is quick, but fiddly parts are difficult. 3d print the opposite
nice - something I’ve wanted to do for a while but increased complexity of build is always a stumbling block. Easier with 3d print
never mind, can see when viewing enlarged video. Good old 28BYJ-48’s
That’s fantastic - which steppers were you using?

Sweet! And the award for first 3D printed MeArm Pi goes to…
Just tidied up all of the cutting files for MeArm on GitHub now. Here’s the latest: github.com/mimeindustries/Me… (more tweaks coming)

That’s a good idea - will add that in to the drawings I think

will also add a pdf so you can measure from that to be sure

Damn! I’ll look at updating to latest, though it should only be minor tweaks.
nice! Do you want the PCB outline for the base?
Time for a drink methinks.
