Precise focus stacking system - Custom designed rig and software updates

Check out PCBWay's website for rapid prototyping of printed circuit boards, CNC and 3D printing services and many more! https://www.pcbway.com/setinvite.aspx?inviteid=482140 In this video, I show you some updates on my focus stacking rig. After my first video, I kept working on the project because I wanted to improve several things. Both on the software and the hardware side. I designed my own rig based on some off-the-shelf components as well as 3d-printed parts. I also changed a few things in the Arduino code and added some extras to make the program more flexible and user-friendly.
