Work in progress at the shop: a CGW member is wiring a Scorbot ER-4u robot arm to run from an Arduino and H-bridge motor drivers. The control board is mostly jumper wires and optimism so far. #arduino #makerspace

A teal Scorbot robot arm with a black gripper sits on a cart behind a plywood board covered in an Arduino, motor driver modules, a breadboard and a nest of jumper wires.

Work is continuing on our reboot with a 'zone-based' organization. We're transitioning to six active zones - Metal working, Machining, woodworking, digital fabrication, electronics, and Arts. This model (FreeCAD BIM) shows the interim layout.

Is anyone old enough to recognize this 3D printer we used to have? Looks like a V6 hotend and inductive probe. #makerspace #3dprinting #columbiamo
