This is an open source project "electronic gears". Very popular among home craftsmen in the territory of the former USSR. The main functionality is to replace the mechanical gears of the guitar machine with an electronic drive. The first versions automated the operation of only the longitudinal feed. The current version 7.2 allows you to automate the operation of the transverse feed. Such operations as thread cutting, cone, sphere - do not require manual dexterity.
Naturally, the Chinese brazenly put it on the WEISS EL250 machine, passing it off as their own development. All comments on YouTube are banned )
