Hi All, I am new to the list, so excuse me if this has been discussed ad nauseum. For fun, we created a DIY CNC wire bender. If you are curious, see it here - DIWire Bender and more here blog.pensanyc.com. So here's the question - We want to open source it. If you have open sourced your hardware/software, what was your experience? Any pearls of wisdom, dos, don'ts and watch outs? __________________________________________________ end of citation W dniu 05.06.2012 22:32, Joseph Chiu pisze: > Under!
