Ratings and reviews

I think every hobbyist and small machine workshop owner should look at this. I am very impressed about the functionality of this app. I build the interface myself on an Arduino mega. But I think you could even do it on an ATTiny85. We live in a wonderful time that all this options for your hobby room exist.

Brilliant. Makes accurate milling a real pleasure. The circle function avoids the need for a rotary table. I initially had problems with random resets but that was due to old Arduino code running on my Bluetooth controller. I hope there will be an update to offer even more functionality.

Great! I built the kit, which was fun. App does everything really well. One suggestion, when calibrating scales, it would be good to be able to see the value as you are homing in on the edge, just so you can be sure you haven't overshot.
