brdMaker successfully picked it's first components!!

Now using TinyG as motor controller.

TinyG has only 4 motor channels and brdmaker needs least 5. Also there is need to interface pressure sensors, more IO is needed for feeders, etc

Also the way how TinyG reports completion of G-codes is different than OpenPnp expects and is bit difficult to parse those out.

Smoothie is on the way here and lets hope that things are better there.

Meanwhile lets do some tests with drag feeding.
