But now, the plotter has been beefed up to perform wood routing. I had a lot of trouble with EMI botching up the USB connection and had to restart it a few times, but it worked quite well and the video is at 1x speed.

Some people might ask about the breadboard being temporary and unreliable. That's not the case at all. I have many projects that still work beautifully that are built on breadboards many years ago.
