pi/build-image.sh makes a ready-to-flash card: Raspberry Pi OS Lite 2026-10-06
+ the Gyre software as a service on http://gyre.local (port 80), first-boot
setup through cloud-init (user, SSH key, Wi-Fi, packages from the card), USB
host mode on the Zero 2's data port. No root: mtools for the boot partition,
debugfs for the root filesystem. Wi-Fi and credentials stay in the work dir.
Web page: Power off / Restart links when GYRE_POWER_BUTTONS=1 (set by the Pi
service); thumbnails keyed by file contents so pre-made ones ship on the card;
stale thumbnails pruned.

README, build guide, software README, web page header and title, jog page,
desktop alerts and the start-up message now say Gyre. The repo, the Python
package and its commands keep their names (sandTable, python3 -m sandtable),
so links and setups keep working. New web page screenshot.

BUILD.md walks through the whole build: what to buy (parts and screws), the
v3 print list with materials and supports, case, electronics (microstep
jumpers, driver current), centre, the arm on the bench, hub and slip ring,
wiring to the CNC shield, software setup and a first run without sand, then
floor, magnet height, sand and glass, plus troubleshooting.
Also adds the 608 fit test to print/v3 so the v3 folder is complete.
