Welcome to the FirePick discussion group.

Like Adafruit, FirePick has a "be excellent to each other" comment policy. Help us keep the community here positive and helpful. Stick to the topic, be respectful of makers of all ages and skill levels. Be kind and don't spam.

If you'd like to join, please be sure to supply a "Reason" that convinces us you are a human. Applications with blank Reasons will be rejected as spam. Thanks for your patience!

NOTE: FIREPICK IS CURRENTLY INACTIVE. WE CURRENTLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE A CARTESIAN PNP. DESPITE MUCH WORK AND EFFORT TO MAKE FPD WORK AS DESIGNED WE FOUND THAT THE ACCURACY AND SPEED OF COMMERCIAL ROTATIONAL DELTAS HAVE PROVEN ELUSIVE IN A DIY MAKER CONTEXT.
