Looking forward to seeing the accuracy on a real board with paste. Thanks for sharing this is really useful and good closeup video.

Progressing nicley. I like to think that because of Spectranet, the Speccy will be of interest to a whole new generation of coders. Heres hoping.

Nice to see the pick and place in motion there Ben. Shame about that on reel with the dodgy thickness. Looking forward to seeing how the first batch turns out. Also hoping that Spectranet takes off in a big way when these start getting out into the wild. Thanks for your hard work and dedication to keeping all things Sinclair Spectrum alive as we approach 2020!

question for you, I cannot tell from the video but does the pump on your machine run continuous? i have the same machine but my pump seems to run or turn on 1 sec then off 1 sec, then just repeats the on/off, so when picking up components it doesnt stay picked up and falls off because pump turns off

I think so, since you can hear them buzz at power on, but they increase suction when a part needs to be lifted it sounds. Sounds like a problem with the circuit, not sure what it could be. QiHe however is relatively easy to contact (this week there is a Chinese holiday of course), so try that, directly or by contacting the representative on the EEVBlog topic about this machine.

Could you tell me base (without feeders) dimension of this pick and place? I've bought tvm-802b some time ago, but it didn't arrive yet, so i though i could make a suitable table for it, before it gets here. thanks!
