Yes, I'm supposed to be designing a golf GPS computer and scorecard for my dad, but it's been a long project that I do a bit on every so often. I seem to spend more time writing the tools to build it, than building the project itself... But I think that I have most of the building blocks there now. As for playing myself, I'm rubbish! Quite embarrasing really...

You and I can play together then. I have not been below 100 to date, but GPS on the cart has proven that I can actually drive 300 yds... on those rare occasions that it goes straight and to the amazement of my fellows on the course. Other than than that I do much better at PIC's...

Steven I am waiting for a pick and place machine to arrive that will be installed and running for Christmas so will be able to do almost anything next year.

That's good to know. Thanks. May be I'll start to think seriously about the idea. Who knows, maybe I'll even escape teaching...

doj,
What kind of machine did you end up getting? I am looking to expand operations here as well.

We have ordered a
http://www.ntscope.com/m2-2.html with liquid dispenser and vision control, there is a world wide slump in sales at the moment so its a good time to buy, we did look at loads of second hand stuff but these guys made it not worth while, plus we have got a deal that if it does not do what they say we get a full refund.
The feeders(fujii) are available second hand everywhere.
