 Most devices require some internal logic or digital control.  Most devices go about that in entirely incompatible ways.  Can we unify digital control across the construction system?

-Laser additions to open source Marlin 3D printer firmware for Buildlog.net, OpenSLS, and mUVe3D demonstrate adaptability of existing ultra-low-cost 3D printing control solutions to a wider range of problems.
-A collection of power, control, cooling, and container components are suggested, which connect the elements common to a variety of machine control problems, as well as additions to increase the range of acceptable input and output voltages. This allows the
-controller to consume power from a variety of solar panel and battery configurations, and to control peripherals originally designed for other applications (i.e. found, salvaged, or otherwise repurposed equipment).
