Must read: Progress and current status of the Cyclone proyect: http://carlosgs.es/node/47

Getting the source code

Install git (http://git-scm.com/) onto your system. Then run a clone:

git clone git://github.com/carlosgs/Cyclone-PCB-Factory.git

This will download the latest sources into a directory named 'openscad'.

To pull the MCAD (http://reprap.org/wiki/MCAD) and Obiscad (https://github.com/Obijuan/obiscad) libraries, do the following:

cd Cyclone-PCB-Factory
git submodule update --init

To-Do list

Firmware:
Keep motors always on, in order to do homing only once each milling session
Misc:
Create assembly instructions

News

Firmware

No news, it is Marlin with support for G30 probing command

Water-cooled spindle motors! http://www.goodluckbuy.com/electronics/motor-and-controller.html via Marcos Villacampa (@MarkVillacampa)
We could use a thermistor to measure the temperature of the spindle motor: this way the software could "let it rest" when it gets too hot.
