Both the chips to fix the cnc4pc C41, and the new controller were handed out of a passing USPS mini-truck about 3 hours ago. So the C41 is outputting the proper signals again, toggling the correct relays etc. Now I have to put it all back together so I can tie the wires up out of the works & see how it spins. That I assume I may be able to do after I take Dee out and fit her for a nose bag since its about din-din time of the evening here. So, a promise of progress. ;-) That controller looks well built. A 25 amp rated PWM controller for $150 doesn't seem that that bad a deal from this viewpoint. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
