Hi,

I'm an electronics engineer and programmer based in Kent. For the day job I design industrial computer hardware, firmware and software for the transport industry. I'm very interested in robotics and CNC. As much as I'd love to have my own machine shop with a CNC lathe and milling machine, I do not have the space. I'm currently working on a DIY SMT pick and place machine and have joined this forum for inspiration and advice on the various mechanical aspects of the project - Any machining will be outsourced whilst I will be performing electronic and software design and final assembly myself.

Matt.
