Hi TMF
how close is a OpenPNP etc port for 802A?
Well I intend to get a 802A in the next couple of months for porting, then I will probably give it to the local electronics club.
The TVM920 and 802 have the same engineer, so I would expect a fair degree of similarity in the systems, so probably won't take too long to figure out.
The 802A is quite affordable but short on feeders relatively, so I expect there will be some need and application and work done to improve loose part-pickup in the area . there is plenty of pcb area for that.
People who want casual assembly probably can be well served with the 802 series, but for serious work, the 920 is more the business.
