I recently bought a pick & place machine for, well, picking & placing small
parts. it looks great in the living room!

Since I expect that there are others on this list with either machines,
access to machines or an interest in such things, I'd like to invite y'all
to check out and/or contribute to our wiki & forum - its updated every day!
(Eventually it'll be skinned so its not so god-damned wiki-looking)

if you've got ideas, tips, tricks or are interested in small p&p machines
plz check out http://www.ladyada.net/wiki/mdcpickandplace

alternately, you can respond to this email with verbatim text I can copy
into the wiki

When I looked into such machines the Madell's seemed to be the cheapest.
Any reason why you selected your machine?

So, you advertise it in the piclist but don't care to read what the people in the piclist have to say (or ask) about it?

That's, at least, ackward...

that is correct, we thought piclist would be interested in knowing about
some of the totally free and possibly useful information we put up.

but we often do not have time to read and follow the dozens of mailing lists
about electronics!

for those who want to discuss w/us in detail, they are free to post to the
forum that we check every day, or the wiki we administrate

if you'd like to chat about p&p machines on piclist, thats totally cool..but
we probably wont end up responding to questions here (we're quite busy with
what we've got!)

thanks!

Actually, I don't have a problem with that, at least this time.

Limor quite correctly thought that some (many? of us PIClisters would
be interested in a well documented journey into automated SMT production.

Part of that may be past history - she has done a LOT of really cool
projects - all are well documented and, for me, all have been
interesting.  Some even use PICs!

I'm glad that she posted about this - I plan to follow her progress
and learn from it.

So, after all, it looks like I was wrong and I apologize for that. I thought she was just spamming the list.

Once again, my apologies.
