== Overview ==
This device is a CNC router, specifically meant for the creation of custom PCBs. Due to the very proprietary and tightly woven nature of the software designed for this machine, it's place in the space is currently up for discussion.
Current interface is a RS-232C serial.

Registration Details: ???
== Alterations/TODOs ==
* Investigate if local pc even has serial ports. Possibly request serial->usb adapter.
* Attempt to install/run/fabricate with original software.
* Investigate electronics replacement with arduino/ramps shield or similar.
* Investigate original software's import/export functionality.
* Create simple enclosure /w vacuum, for working with glass fiber materials.
