Just for the DRO, or fawncier yet, Chris? I thought about that, but decided the on-screen DRO was good enough since both of my dials are on the replacement apron plate and lcd down on the apron seems out of the normal view. Theres the matter of the r-pi's limited horsepower too. Being stuck with limited color framebuffer video sucks, but the big drag is the mouse usually needs 2 clicks to recognize one. htop says it is not working that hard though. I have a cover of sorts made to hide the x ball screw & keep 99% of the swarf out of it, some 10 thou SS shimstock covers it nicely. It was uncovered a wee bit behind the slider when it was moved in to nominally centerline. So after home switches, the next thing may be a 3d printer so I can make swarf covers over the drive belt for the x axis. Looking for one thats pellet fed as thats about 20% of the cost of an equal poundage of plastic string. Found one but gotta figure out how much 1.75mm string I can buy for the diff in machine cost. I get the impression pellet fed is faster because its a more rigid frame for the heavier printhead. But with zero experience for comparison, it may be wishfull thinking on my part. It would be plowing new ground for me in any event. And my plow is getting duller as the years creep by. > On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 12:14 PM, Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > Greetings all; > > > > I found my logic mistake, a # in the wrong place.
