 Thanks to its parallel kinematic structure and miniature ball joints, it achieves good mechanical stiffness and a large range of motion.
 The motors are off the shelf stepper motors dr​iven by a 30 kHz closed loop controller and a very precise PWM signal.
 A 'magnetic gearing' approach increases the resolution of the low-cost magnetic rotary encoders by a factor of 30 allowing for steps down to 50nm
-(**Please mind the difference between resolution and accuracy**. The absolute accuracy is much lower).
+(**Please mind the difference between resolution and accuracy**. The absolute accuracy is significantly worse.
 
 The device can be controlled via simple G-Code commands over a USB serial interface and is thus easily integrated into other projects.
 The firmware implements a complete motion planning stack with look-ahead for smooth and accurate path following capabilities.

+IMPORTANT: If you fabricated PCB verion v1.2 (see version label on the board) you need to drill out a misplaced via on diode D1 that shorts 5V rail to ground (See [repair image](electronics/pcb_v1.2_fix.jpg) ). The problem was fixed in v1.3.
 
 The electronics are designed in **KiCAD** and only commonly available modules (motor drivers and MCU boards) are used and connected by a simple PCB. No SMD soldering is required to populate the board to make the build extra accessible.
 For usual winding resistance of your motors, the device should be powered by $${\color{lightgreen} 5V-6V }$$ (2A) to keep current and heating to a reasonable level.
