History of the Hobbyist LPM

[lasersbee]

It's rarely the coders that start the so called drama.

What makes you think I'm not a coder...:thinking:
Do you think elves come to our shop to design our LPM Firmware...:thinking:

The coders do it for the hobby, the sellers do it for the paycheck.

What makes you think that all coders only do it for the hobby...:thinking:
I understand that a coder just made a financial gain selling our
mimicked Firmware. I'd call that a paycheck..

BTW ped... we all know which way the wind bends you...

OK...Back to the History Thread.....:beer:

I gotta agree that the Andover LPM1 was the first hobbyist
LPM I saw when I first browsed Laser reated Forums...

"Your" firmware? You had the opportunity to buy it and passed up your chance...

If you consider the time I put into it, I took a pretty serious loss. :crackup:

I've managed to dig up the original manual for it. Still poking around to figure out how long it was available for and to flesh out its origin story.

I actually did make the decision to omit that one - on account of it not being produced by a hobbyist. Precious little information is available about it, but I can see what I can dig up!

I did not know that, interesting
I always thought it was a hobbyist LPM. I guess not. Do you know who made it?

As far as I can tell, drlava worked with Andover to develop it... Andover being a corporation based in Andover, CT.
