I have a few more about that lady that will come out in due time. for a girl off a cotton field in No. Arkansas with a about 1/3rd of a of a 3rd grade education (kids only went to school when there was no field work to do), she was learning semiconductor theory from me without any problems. And she never saw a gun until we moved to the black hills & I bought a surplus P17 for a deer rifle, and after the job building titan missiles was over, we loved the country and stayed, eventually buying a place about 2 miles out of town on Nemo Road. I worked at the local hifi store for about 2 years, got a 1st phone ticket right away, then moved to the local tv station as a tx engineer, which cemented me as one for the rest of my working life. She was a natural born cook. I never handed her a coon, porky or possum, but she wouldn't have batted an eye and it would have been tasty when she got done with it. Almost anything else was fair game for her skillet or oven. And she was always ready to go. Took great care to see to it I didn't have to wander. :) They say these are the golden years, but those, '58-'68 were the real golden years. > Sorry about the drive blowing up! > > Jon So am I because if I can't fix it, I will have lost at least a week. It seems a common problem with that MC60 controller is the scr-trg led is in series with the opto that does the triggering, and some of them have been repaired by replacing both the opto and the led. I did note that it wasn't that bright. The led I can get at the shack locally, but the opto, some 8 pin minidip in a white case is probably as far away time wise as the controller. :( But I'll get a couple of them headed my way today, J.I.C. Looking over that hal file, I realized that if an m3,m4 was presented before the oneshot timed out, the edge time that was setp'd would guarantee a missed commend, so I moved the edge function to the output of and2.4, and the motor would then be restarted after the oneshop timed out. Currently for testing I have that setp to 4 seconds so a halmeter can see it and the flipflop seems to be following the desired truth states. But now my thinking is looking ahead to where I need a 'near' function on the spindle speed to function as a motion.feed-hold. But that looks like its dependent on having an M53P1 in the preamble according to the manpage for motion. Sure, I can put it in the ini file, but that means a typu could turn it off, a chance I'd rather not take. Is there any way to bypass this M53P1 requirement and guarantee the motion.feed-hold Just Works(TM)? I am, since the manpage does not state, assuming that when the hold goes away, it will resume the programmed motions, is my assumption correct?
