I have to agree that once a topic starts, and unless it would get
more play elsewhere, it should stay on the list.
I was only agreeing with another member that the topic would fall
more under the build a machine list. That member recognised that
designing a paste machine and writing software was pretty far afield
for this list.
The thread was discussing
- how to write the software
- how to engineer the paste mechanism
- how to write the G-code
These are pretty far off how to make a pcb as you entered assembling
boards and machine design. But for those who are both mechanically
inclined and want to make a board, it is a good topic.
Pic and place would be another topic and if this list gets a lot of
play on that topic, I would bet yet another list gets created.
