Er, who me...? ? ? Yes, I have to admit to being on version number 5. A K1, these things keep getting better. ? Now whenever I <need ?> to make something I am torn between all the different ways I can do it. The cnc lathe still gets it’s share. ? Yup, 3d printers stole a lot of air from the room. ? Art ? ?

Hi Art, Joe is doing all sorts of interesting things.? He never did buy an ELS from me because he went straight to MACH3 on his lathe.? I enjoy visiting him and seeing whatever new project he is doing.? He’s a very busy guy. John Dammeyer ?

I think you can credit a lot of the slowdown to Yahoo.? Since they shitcanned the groups, it is difficult to keep up with any pursuit (including Mach)..

Don’t overlook the simple obvious dumb stuff. ? I once found a laser cutter I hadn’t used for a while was completely dead.? Had removed most of the electronics before realising I’d forgotten to turn off the emergency switch (which I always hit when finished).? Geez. ? Once at work a few of us spent a while diagnosing an unresponsive server, someone did ask “Is it plugged in?” (of course it was) but on checking I found the network cable wasn’t.? Gah. ? Tony ? ?

Peter,
Steve Stalings just gave me some new jumper settings on the PMDX board that allowed me to get my machine running In spite of the lower voltages, ?Which supports your input.?
As I understand Steve, the settings I currently have will bypass my charge pump and Estop, so I need to get that corrected.?
Thank you for your input, Chuck?
