You guys are great, thanks again.

Here's a quick dxf for the 80mm case fan (in inches lol!)

Ed, I truly appreciate you trying to help but that one gives me errors as well.

Hi Ed,

The dxf is not working at all in either solidworks or ProgeCAD. Can someone else try to open this dxf?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi all, anyone have computer case dxf's? Such as parallel ports, serial ports, case fan cutouts? Things like that?

I've heard sometimes manufacturers have these available, anyone know where?

Thanks!

Great to hear, I'll have to keep that in mind as a "to-do" item for the near future so thanks for passing that info along -

Ah, thanks for the screen info - 

Just connect the A and B channels of your MPG (encoder) to 2 pins on Pokey, select one of the pins in the Pokey panel and choose digital Input then select encoder and A, do the same for the next pin but select B. Get your power source hooked to the encoder and tie the 0v line of this to the Pokey grnd pin and thats it. You can watch the pulses count up and down as you turn one way then the other in the Pokey tool then encoder. Gets real exciting watching the numbers count up and down

Hood

Hood, are you getting your 5 volt power from the PoKeys device?

Thanks,
Dave

Just curious Hood, did you choose to modify a Mill screenset for the lathe because of the problems with trying to modify a lathe screen with Screen 4?

Thanks,
Dave
