Been reading the #RepRapMicron wiki this morning. Really exciting to see this progress. It's a great example of why #opensource is brilliant in that @vik was inspired and informed by the #openflexuremicroscope design. Also love the cats section in the documentation :)

TIL that you can just connect many displays directly up to an RPI, twiddle some device overlays, and it will show up as a framebuffer in the system.

Might use this to make a slightly ridiculous viewfinder for the microscope, or slightly more useful, to see when it's booted, connected to wifi, with what ip etc.
