A project log for Mouse-controlled Microscope

Arduino + geared stepper motor control of microscope XY stage and focus. Inspired by need for an amputee to do veterinary lab work.

Uploaded a schematic, some openSCAD files for motor mounts and controller housings, and a component list.

Still to do:

One probably concern is how to keep the lens from crashing into a slide. Ideally you'd need a way to know which lens has been selected (2 hall switches and 3 magnets?) and then a calibrated focus height... too tired to think of that now.
