About the project
An open-source low-cost motorized XYZ micro-manipulator with sub-micron precision for optical alignment, probing electronics, and microscopy. Controlled via G-code over USB serial, with a Python API and GUI.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 18, 2026, 13:59 UTC.
The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.
Stars per day
Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 13:08–13:53: 1903 → 1939 stars (+36). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +52 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 2 per day.
- Hacker News: “Open MicroManipulator – A sub-micrometer 3D motion control plattform” — 41 points, 2 h ago.
Measured growth: the last 7 completed days
New stars over 7 days: 14. +40% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
