Summary
Developer 0x23 has created an open-source motorized XYZ micro-manipulator designed for optical alignment and microscopy. It features a parallel kinematic structure, miniature ball joints for stiffness, and off-the-shelf steppers managed by a high-speed closed loop controller. The development process and functionalities are shared on GitHub, aiming to aid in electronic component probing and microscopy tasks.
