Update #2 (3/5/21)

As of today:

  • Most of the parts have arrived

  • I have experimented with the code and wiring for a motor driver

  • I have started getting the CNC mill ready for milling out the aluminum side pieces

The pictures show milling faceplate flat, gluing on a 1/4" piece of aluminum, then milling that flat. The next picture shows how the large aluminum block will sit on the faceplate. The attachment method for CNC milling, surprisingly, will be superglue and tape. This works well in holding a large flat piece.

By next week I want to have the 3D model done, the machining done, and to be just finishing up the code on the Discovery Board.
