I've done some research on the Thing-O-Matic (TOM) @Jim Fouch gave me. Thank you Jim! Here are the stats
Software: Sailfish 4.7
Atmega 1280
MK7 single extruder.

I have been experimenting with the Gen 4 interface and I do have the full LCD screen light up. I don't have the operation manual but I've been able to jog it.

I do have a Raspberry Pi 3 setup with octopi with experimental camera streamer and the GFX add in for the TOM. I have GFX setup for the TOM Mk7 single extruder profile.

To Do:
Find the operation manual for the Gen 4 interface to learn how to use it and set the proper parameters
Watch videos on leveling and operating it
Get my pi camera hooked up to the Raspberry 3 and test it.
Get a slicer program installed, probably Cura.
Purchase PLA 1.75mm filament. Jim gave me ABS which I am concerned about using with my sinuses and our pet cat.
Determine if the extruder is actually clogged or if it is operator error.
Finally do a benchy to test it.

Always looking to the stars.

Is this not have a control board, so you need to DIY one?
