Right on time and not at all too late: The blog post about that machine I built to automatically attach a display to a PCB is finally here!

This project happened tangentially to the 2023 cccamp badge project, the #flow3r.
A dark photo of a camera looking at the pink PCB to detect fiducials. A bright LED ring sitting around the lens illuminates the PCB. In the background, the gripper is visible, waiting to pick up a display soon.
An upward shot of a pick-and-place gripper holding a circular display. The gripper fingers are yellow, 3d-printed parts. More 3d-printed components of the machine are visible in the background.
A dispensing needle above a pink PCB, ready to dispense an adhesive. In the background a gripper mechanism and some industrial sensors are visible through the blur.
