Things are slowly coming together

Our new pics have arrived. These re-programmable pics are compatible with the pic programmer, and testing of it will begin shortly. We have successfully mounted a stepper motor on top of another stepper motor, and tested to see if the stepper motor on bottom can still rotate with the added load. This test proved successful, and the entire contraption will be complete soon. All four stepper motor drivers have been soldered onto a circuit board, and because we are able to hook up one successfully to a stepper motor, we can just duplicate its setup for the other stepper motor drivers. Things are really coming together, and completion of the initial prototype is imminent.
