BOM, Readme, Renders, Finishing touches, and More.

This was a long session! I started off with some finishing touches here and there like an adapter plate for the arcaswiss mounting so that I can actually put this mount on a tripod.

Then, I wrote the BOM. Boy oh boy. I thought i was doing so well on budget! Turns out, I am at the full 1000 dollars. Oops. I mean, when you think about it, this kind of setup commercially would be well over double that. So it isn’t actually that bad? But it is a bit rough. I was looking into some DIY imaging scope stuff earlier because I thought I had the budget spare but boy was I wrong.

Anywho, I got the BOM done, including accurate counts of every single screw type. That isn’t something I have done before, but I feel like this project deserved the effort.

Then I wrote the README and thus had to take some renders for it! I took one of the whole project and this really cool one of the gearbox exploded - they are attached to this devlog. I am pretty happy with how they came out.

Anywho, we are getting very close to submission, I just need to write some preliminary firmware for the SKR pico. And then I think we are good to go? Not sure.
