Connects to the serial interface header of a Kayo-A4 pick-and-place machine, and provides a USB interface with a GCode interpreter that translates messages into the format necessary for the factory Kayo firmware.

The hardware portion of the project can minimally be built with an ESP32-based dev board such as a Wemos D1 Mini and some cables.

A dedicated hardware design is also being developed, which will provide additional features such as a CAN bus interface to integrate with other devices on the production line.

The "Hardware" directory contains the PCB design as an EAGLE project.

The "Firmware" directory contains example firmware as an Arduino project.

Heavily inspired by Glen English's Python-based UI for the Kayo, in particular his work decoding the message format used by the factory software.
