Mk2 Assembly Gallery

When I built the Mk2 version last December, I took pictures to document the process. This model is now obsolete, but I think the pictures are still interesting, not only because they show how I built it, but also because they make clear some of the reasons why I decided to change the design.

It’s here!

With five new modules up and running, I’ve revised and uploaded the DCO code to Github. It has been a while since I last used Github, since I normally work with svn; I was pleasantly surprised that I can use tortoiseSVN with it.
