PIKA V0.01, More Rigid And Simpler
The initial hack for PIKA had a few shortcomings. Notably if you moved it you'd lose calibration, and it was extremely difficult to put the Stage mounting nuts in. I've addressed that and put the V0.01 on github (V0.00 wasn't really a version so it's not tagged).
I've recessed the screws in the flange on the bottom of the XY Table so they don't hit the Axis Drivers, and simplified the Base design so that separate feet are not needed.
This has made the whole thing much simpler to assemble, and I hope to tackle that bit tonight.
