*blush* I'm glad I was able to help, but it's a community effort. I know a lot of other folks here have helped me!
And I've actually got three blacks on-hand, plus a couple of whites, so I'm OK for now. I'm just building more things to control with LinuxCNC on the Beaglebone, and will soon have more CNC machines than BeagleBone Blacks, so need to get a few more sometime. The current tally is: * MendelMax printer (working) * Mini-Kossel (moving, not yet printing) * Wally (build in progress) * GUS Simpson (just finished printing the parts) * Shapeoko V2 (still in box) I just put in an order with Mouser and let them get back-ordered. I'll manage if they don't show up until January. :) On 12/18/2013 11:33 PM, John Syne wrote: > I vote that Charles go to the front of the line given the number of people > he has helped in this group ;-) > > > I know he has helped me personally and I will always be grateful for all > the help he has given me. > > Regards, > John > > On 12/18/13, 6:30 AM, "Charles Steinkuehler" <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Wow!
