-Move to R&D:
-As of Oct 2013, we're working on a redesign. See the Research and development link above.
-is in progress, more information about the [[CNC_Torch_Table_Control_Overview|control system]] and other research and development can be found in the''' [[CNC Torch Table 2/Research Development|Research & Development]] '''section. In particular, a big piece of development is a robust, open source [[Height Controller]] for oxyacetylene and plasma torches.
-The mechanical structure is already built. Steps needed include [[Steppernug]] open source stepper motor driver, Arduino stepper controller, z-height control, trigger, endstops, and CNC toolpath toolchain. Further development involves test-driven design with [[Cool DRV]], [[RAMPS]], DRV-based [[Pololu]]. Building towards universally scalable stepper controller as we begin [[Power Electronics Construction Set]].
