I tend to prefer the Github mainpage, it has possibly more up to date instructions and is were the code + releases live.

I have my own #laserweb fork too;

I want to run it headless as a #laserweb server in the future, but first it gets a #LORA HAT and I will see if I can talk to my boat on the lake by where I live.

Java support is still a bit, err, behind the curve on risc-v at present, but I'm sure that will change.

Humble and Cheap:
- 5040 chassis kit with all electronics, motors etc. but no laser module :: 110eur
- High focus laser module:: 95eur
- Pond air pump (air assist) :: 38eur
- Bits and bobs (frame, lights, psu and air hose) :: 50eur
- Everything else came from my 3d printer, parts bins, etc.
