This application is a Windows C# control application to run a DIY pick and place machine via A KFlop motion controller and Windows PC with a custom USB controller board to control feeders and other hardware interfaces.

The software is built using C# and the ModernUI theme from http://http://mui.codeplex.com/ and uses Modern UI Icons from http://www.modernuiicons.com

The camera vision uses Emgu CV from http://www.emgu.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page which uses a basic usb microscope camera to look down on to the pcb to locate the parts. This is saved into a XML data file as a series of X & Y locations and the control software adds the correct offset depending on the selected picker nozzle.

The USB controller board prototype is on http://briandorey.com/post/pick-and-place-controller-v3-part-1.aspx

Photos and info for the completed driver board are on http://briandorey.com/post/pick-and-place-controller-v3-part-2.aspx
