===== Status =====
A great many people have been asking for a status update over the last couple of months.  The project to revive the PnP machine quite literary fell asleep and nothing much happened for a year.  However, motivation returned and the machine is now almost ready to use.  All mechanical parts underwent maintenance and are in perfect working order.  We're still looking for a suitable supply of pressured air for first trials and calibration is also still an open point.

Here's a quick overview of what's going to happen over the next couple of weeks:

==== ToDo ====
=== Hardware ===
  * Evaluating equipment and accessories
  * Trial runs with pressured air
  * Calibration
  * doing awesome stuff.
  * get/build Dispenser head for solder paste ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPVJEo4Guaw|BS391-Dispenser]])
