Sitting at the intersection of the digital and physical worlds, Mettle & Byte focuses on software that runs hardware, and hardware that runs software - specifically in the areas of manufacturing and industrial control. Our current work includes supporting the Millennium Machines project, where we are responsible for the implementation of MillenniumOS and ArborCtl - packages of functionality built on top of RepRapFirmware that guides new users through their first steps in subtractive manufacturing (milling). We are broaching the hardware space with our first physical product - the Ultralight N17, a 'backpack' driver for NEMA17 size motors designed to work out-of-the-box with RepRapFirmware, and with scope for closed loop control with further software development. https://www.lectronz.com/stores/mettle-and-byte Custom RSS Generator https://lectronz-images.b-cdn.net/lectronz/active_storage/representations/proxy/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NTcwNTEsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--ab0e4df7c297c035f7d7f6efa7bd6d08b0e0d774/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6eyJmb3JtYXQiOiJwbmciLCJyZXNpemVfdG9fbGltaXQiOlsxOTIsMTkyXSwic2F2ZXIiOnsic3RyaXAiOnRydWV9fSwicHVyIjoidmFyaWF0aW9uIn19--0808b744be7c555ce58430d0ed7115f4f35a0403/mnb-logo-white-square-dark-bg.png https://www.lectronz.com/stores/mettle-and-byte A NEMA17 footprint, CAN(-FD) connected 'backpack' driver.
