Thanks but looking at the various ISO connector specs and the fact that oxygen at pressure is involved , don't think a hacker project using a raspberry pi running Raspbian is going to cut it.

I hope I am wrong but it seems rather daunting.

Just to point out, the members of some hackspaces around the world are a bit more "proper engineering" oriented + experienced with real world industrial design than you're alluding to.

Not everyone is still into low grade crap / toys. Although they're a useful starting point when first getting into making things. ;)
