However, choosing a Cheap-Yellow-Display instead +of a Nextion compatible display caused me to implement the logic myself. + +## What is the spincoat plater? + +The spincoat plater is a large spincoater (20CM diameter chamber) primarily intended +for coating photographic emulsions onto 4x4 or 4x5 glass plates. You can really try to +use it for anything else you come up with, though. + +## What is Maasi? + +[Maasi](https://github.com/klotzsch-lab/Maasi) is an open source spin coater. It's +primary intended for a wet-lab environment, for working with microscope slides and +the like. It was just too small for my use case, so I embiggened it. :)
