Will do! I'm going on vacation for three weeks, and then I intend to see
if I can get the projects electrics and mechanics done at least before
school starts again. I've been getting my CNC Sherline mill working
properly for that, the mechanical parts are a fairly complex (for me)
set of interlocking bars to hold all the parts, lots of work to be done
there just to get everything assembled.

Be much easier to figure out the math if I've got a little cube in my
hand. I'll be able to test the much more simple cases of moving along
one axis and hopefully start to work up from there, hopefully!
