TIL what an "SMT Pick and Place" [0][1] machine is.

Summary: $1000 and with open source hardware and tools, I can make custom computing hardware for your projects.

Seems pretty cool.

See also the LumenPnP by Opulo [1]. It’s a fully open source (hardware and firmware) pick and place machine with optical tracking, basically a perfect match for the OpenPnP control software.
