+Project to convert a Central Machinery based CNC to a trunnion based 5 axis mill.
+
+Some of the goals...
+* Use the Colorlight 5A-75E (or similar) ECP5 based LED wall controller as main controller, running [litex-cnc](https://github.com/Peter-van-Tol/LiteX-CNC)
+* Design all fabricated parts in FreeCAD, using CAM Workbench to produce G-Code
+* Attempt to cut all parts on what ever 'degrees of freedom' currently available. ie; start with the 3-axis I've got.
+* Document everything the best I can, for future maintainance purposes. See [WiKi](https://git.oit.cloud/morgan/5axxon-cnc/wiki) for 'source of truth'.
