Introduction

This section contains information about how to build BM prototipes by yourself. For now, “Zora” is the only available but we plan to add more as the project go on.

Zora

Zora is the codename for the second BondMachine prototipe, the first with a monitor and a keyboard. It is based on a Basys3 evaluation board. To build it you also need a 3D printer and a tool to cut and engraving the plexi.

The result of the process will be something like this:
