Today I started revising the breadboarded miniMO. I wanted to bring the printed model as much in line as possible with the PCB version, whilst emphasizing the different approach; my goals were to fit all the components of the latest design on the custom board, and to keep soldering to a minimum.

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.
