Re: ELS conversion
|
Didn't get it for my Atlas, but my ELS was under half-price from John Dammeyer, full price was under $300. Still gotta buy an encoder, and connection stuff, but most of it I can build. That ELS is old tech, 2006 or so, but he's working up a modern version using a PIC32. And haven't gotten to play with the lathe it's going on in a couple of years or more. That's a Smithy CB-1220XL. William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.? SEMPER GUMBY! Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better. Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

No offense intended here. I must be ignorant on the subject.
Enlighten me on what I could do with an ELS that I could not do with
a QCGB or a change gear set. I understand that change gears are a
pain, which is why I bought a lathe with a QCGB to replace my change
gear lathe. The price of the QCGB lathe was offset by selling the
change gear lathe. If it is about not using change gears, it seems
that a QCGB lathe would be cheaper than an ELS upgrade. You have to understand that I am still trying to figure out why I would want to buy a water heater with Wi-Fi so that I can communicate with it via a phone app. All I want from a water heater is hot water when I turn on the tap. My QCGB lathe has 40 feed speeds. I think I have used about 5 or 6 of them in 3 years. Infinite control of the feed speed seems utterly useless to me. On 1/23/2024 3:42 PM, mike allen wrote:

I have been watching some YouTube and there is on system some
guy made and he had all kinds of programmable boards on it.
Seemed very complicated but he apparently has all the parts for
sale to the public just don’t know how I would program the
boards… I’m just a hobbyist? On Jan 23, 2024, at 1:25?PM, Ralph Hulslander <rhulslander@...> wrote:
