Yea I'm going at it with my brothers help as he knows a lot more about the computer side of things and electronics. I'm not in a big rush and we might even wind up buying a Fadal b4 this project is done but that's just wishful thinking.
Ok so I need to figure out wiring, chase down the power issue, and figure out why my spindle motor doesn't kick on.
On a side note the QuickDraw Tool changer tool carousel works perfectly. I haven't hooked up air pressure to it because I don't know how much it requires and I don't want to over pressure it.
