Condensing some Q&A: 1) Could I have used stepper motors? - Yep but we want a crazy demo for the custom PCB motor controller we made (preorder at motorgo.net) 2) Could we erase it automatically? - Maybe. we are thinking about trying it - its a little bit trickier than expected. Just vibrating it doesn't work. 3) Can we make a video/play Doom/ do bad apple with it - YES! easily! we discussed it before hitting the time crunch and throwing out the idea bc we have to figure out #2 first. Maybe later 4) Isn't it "Just a plotter" - I think a lot of y'all missed the part about the camera. This device takes pictures, processes them on our server, then draws it. Alternatively we can run it as a plotter as you saw with the memes. I should have added more demos from the camera itself - they do work well! It just wasn't filmed with the purple pretty lighting of the final demos and I didn't fit it into the storyline without slowing down too much stuff. Maybe we will post some on shorts? If you really want to see it we share that type of stuff with our discord all the time. 5) Its not the first etch a sketch camera - correct! I didn't know about the raspberry pi stepper motor camera until yall pointed it out! I do think ours is the first that goes this fast, and the first that uses such a sick nasty image processing pipeline. But that's just too a long title... so I hope you forgive me for that. 6) Could I have used stepper motors? - Yep but we wanted a crazy demo for the custom PCB motor controller we made 7) Did we really have 600 subs 2 days ago? - No we had 680 subs when I posted the video 8) Did we lie about the whole project and none of it is real? - literally how would I have even done that chill out 9) Could I have used stepper motors? - Yep, but we wanted a cool demo for the custom PCB motor controller 10) Could I have used stepper motors? - My goodness just watch the video and I explain it! 11) Who is my editor? - its me, hi thanks for being here I'm so happy yall like the video :) 12) Could I have used stepp -- let me just stop you right there Thanks, Alex

I was really doubting your chosen path to implement your own servos and motion controller from scratch, but in the end, the speed of the machine would only be possible with servos, and you did a great job on the motion controller. Impressive! Did you ever think to try an existing CNC controller, like GRBL or LinuxCNC to run the machine? As you discovered, there's a LOT that goes into a good motion controller and a good servo amplifier - I just wonder how much better it could be with more refined code running it.
