The thread it comes from is huge and it took me ages to find the good stuff, so I found a way to link to the word file,
sorry for the confusion.

Thanks RickinBC I searched my supplier for the flat cable HCMS-16-T-24.00-02 but got nowhere (I live in Norway)

Is the flat cable a 16 core with a male pin on one end and a female on the other,
not unlike the ones that go to old fashioned hard discs on computers?

thanks for the replys guys

try this link I found

www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=12753.0;attach=42498

As the title says after I saw there was a 15% October sale for SuperPids so I went for it.

I saw a Utube of a guy called HelicopterJohn who seems to have desoldered the "screen" and mounted it on his cabinet front with attached wires, I want to try that.

I would like also for my Xbox Controller to be able to alter the speed, I wonder if that is possible?

 If anyone has any other tips and tricks I wanna get the full tinker factor from it.

Its a mystery to me what the USB looking dongle is

I am a compusive twiddler, you know I wanna twiddle with it until it works then move on to the next "improvement"
I have been thinking about one of those laser engravers, there is a guy on Utube CNCnutz he has had one on his machine a couple of years,
checkout his videos they are very very good on how to install one.

Another guy called OpenTronic does some acrylic cutting that I envy
