Photon Smart Feeder

Opulo's open-source smart feeder that auto-indexes tape for LumenPnP.

Also known as: Opulo Photon, smart feeder, LumenPnP feeder

The Photon is an open-source smart feeder from Opulo for the LumenPnP. Each feeder has its own controller: it advances tape on command over a shared bus and reports its slot, so the machine knows exactly where each part is without manual calibration.
