Opps, I forgot to look at the price. I just assumed, that it would be close to the cost of the Pluto-P. The Pluto-P seems to be out of stock, so I was looking for alternatives. At $60 the Pluto is fairly attractive, even to have around on the lab bench for experimenting. Kirk _

There's no existing driver for this board. While you would probably be able to re-use some of the existing verilog or vhdl used in the pluto and mesa firmwares, you would face a fair amount of time spent "porting" these drivers to a new FPGA card. Jeff ---

Yesterday we did our first trial with the new kinematics. It was really exciting!! :) But there was a shuden movement at the start of the homing sequence. We have programed the homing sequence so that all the joints goes upwards at the same time. We first tested with trivkins, and no problem
