### Agenda:
12:00: Assignment Review
12:30: Machine Showcase! We'll show some examples of machines that have been built in our lab.
1:00: Break
1:15: Workshop on stepper motor control and mechanical design
- Convert angular motion to linear motion (use shafts, belts, etc)
- Convert steps to mm (linear travel distance) accordingly
- Explore different microstepping modes
- Adjust motor speed and torque. What are the limits?
