gigapixel imageBot

This thing is a set of tools to help adapt a makerbot or other 3-axis CNC machine into a gigapixel imageBot. This is an extension of the Explorable Microscopy project. http://www.explorablemicroscopy.org/

Some example images:
720 megapixel Arduino http://gigapan.org/gigapans/77742/
200 megapixel Crab shell http://gigapan.org/gigapans/78874/
60 megapixel fly http://gigapan.org/gigapans/79492/

The goal is to make the generation of very very large, explorable images, as simple as possible,
