From the project
Mini Tensile Tester Project
MACK-10 is an open-source desktop tensile tester designed to measure the force and displacement of small material specimens.
The project combines an ESP32-based controller, load cell, stepper-driven linear stage, custom PCB, and 3D-printed components to create a low-cost alternative to commercial material testing equipment.
The target capacity is 10 kg (~98 N), making MACK-10 suitable for testing:

MACK10 Controller V1 Backup: common questions
What microcontroller does the MACK10 Controller V1 Backup use?
The MACK10 Controller V1 Backup is built around the U1 ESP32_DEVKIT_30P, from the ESP32 family.
How big is the MACK10 Controller V1 Backup PCB?
The MACK10 Controller V1 Backup measures 80 × 85.7 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the MACK10 Controller V1 Backup?
23 components, from 21 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the MACK10 Controller V1 Backup design files?
From the joehanko/MACK-10 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the MACK10 Controller V1 Backup design in my own project?
