Re: [sudo-discuss] stepper motor foosball?

i disagree with this sentiment 100% it's much easier to get a project moving if someone has already tried and documented a similar project. what's the harm in looking? we all stand on the shoulders of giants - seeing a run through of how someone has already completed the basic steps of a project that may use some of the same principles and learning from the mistakes/efforts of others frees your limited time up for additional awesomeness in the design, and can help avoid late-night-almost-finished-but-still-fruitlessly-debugging, sanity-destroying-once-you-realize-how-much-time-you-just-wasted pitfalls.
