I just finished puting the PC I set up, for my mill, out in the shop.  Put a cute little USB NIC on it.  I won't need to use it while running the mill, so I hope that disabling it in the device manager until I need it would cancel potential problems ??

Edit: Or is this more of a laptop issue?

Is the paper insulator included in the price?

Graham.

For a limited time the price will include, not one, but THREE full size genuine pulp insulator sheets.

Chaoticone gives us one of many testimonials from enthusiastic Touch Lite owners.  Others have reported that constant use has increased the size of their "member".  Yes, it's true, male enhancement is one of the many benefits of owning a Touch Lite.

Has Bob given any indication when his new spindle speed board will be available?

I thought I was going to buy 4 pixies.  Reading another thread I'm now wondering I should get 3 pixies for axis and the spindle control board from CNC4PC? Or Bob.

Bob?

Yes green wire to any of the grounds(BLACK) next will switch on the PSU, you will need a latching switch because as soon as you release them the power supply will stop.
Hood

It has a switch next to the 110, so I'll connect the green to a black.  Switch off = shut down, switch on = go.

OK?

Now I'm getting ready for the pixie's.  I have taken a 300W power supply out of an old computer. I want to use it to supply 12v+ and 5v+ to the pixie boards.

The guys over at the skyko forum say that it should be plenty to run the boards.  I posted this question there, but they aren't as active as we are here.

Any ideas how I can turn it on without being connected to a mobo?

When I plug it in and turn it on the 5v leads are active.

Edit: Breakout board just arrived.

Brian

Thanks for all the info.  My $ are limited.  I just ordered the breakout board.  Now I have to wait 'till I can order the pixie's.  I will get along with whatever these will accommodate and send Santa a wish list.

Your steps/inch will be 12700

635 x 4 = 2540 (Quadrature output of Encoder)

2540 x 5 = 12700 (5 tpi)


That will give you close to the figure I quoted above at 45Khz.

Wayne....

As you can see, I am easily confused.  Plugged that in, now I'm unconfused...............temporarily.
