Over the past 7 months, Mariam, Veronika, Jacob and Scott have worked to build motor controller boards designed by our collaborator Laszlo Sturmann (CHARA).  In addition, they have designed enclosures for the boards using CAD software and using 3D-printing technology.

We estimate these efforts will save over $30K in costs for our new CHARA instrumentation, allowing us to automate more aspects of the instrument and leading to better data throughput and quality.
