Donated.

I guess the limits of this are the tools & attachments available. Do they have to be specially prepared for use with this? And does the controller s/w need to be adjusted depending on what tool you are using?

Hi. Thanks! So far, there is no a specific controller. I will eventually start to develop a specific controller. But currently we have to work with available ones. So, if you want to use a specific purpose toolhead, you must look for ways to adapt it to the controller too.

Once I develop the basic controller, It will be possible to adap a new toolhead easier.
