With another deployment coming any time now. I need something to commit my self too to pass the time.
I have seen these ammo reloading press computers floating around. They are expensive. I saw an article from a maker fair where an older gentleman made one for less than 200 bucks. If he can do it then I can. I all ready have a RasberyPi for my dual cam press monitor. Why not expand functionality for 40 bucks. Pretty sure it will take me a long time to learn how to code. Doubt I can make something as sexy as the Mark IV control panel. But I hope to create something simply and stylish and functional.
So back ground I have 17 years experience as an electrician. I am familiar with 3M but never went down that feild of my job. So time to learn. I can read and write schematics.
If you are curious I started a github and posted my flow ideas. Got a few prices of code posted that I got working. But I have long ways to go. www.github.com/Rcmaveric/Reloading-Press-Monitor if you are curious have a look. If you have any python experience learning, criticism and pointers are welcome.
I have no back ground or experience in coding or Python. I am learning and making this up as I go. I dont even know python well enough to ask questions.
Attached is a picture of the dual cam monitor.
