Update: 13/3/2025

I'm currently putting the finishing touches to a motorized version of the linear stage using 28BYJ stepper motors and a ULN2003 driver. The control is handled by a Pi Pico because they're easy to re-program for non-technical people like those who I often ship these stages to. Once I've got the motorized version and a controller done I plan to work on either a Z stage or expand the project into more lab hardware like a syringe pump. If anyone has any ideas or wants to contribute to the project hit me up!
