All my email is right here, and behind dd-wrt, with passwds long enough to discourage anything but a key logger, 20 chars absolute min length. I used to watch dd-wrt's logs, but that got boring. In 15 years of running dd-wrt as a guard dog, the only one thats come in was asked to, and given the credentials. > I have no idea why, but Google has been fending off the attacks very > effectively. So I am ok with their security. Well, I think they were broken into once, years ago now, and whoever got in didn't get much. Unlike yahoo, who seems like they upload stuff for up to 5 million folks every 6 months or so. Marissa doesn't believe in high priced tech help. And it shows, I'm on several yahoo hosted mailing lists, and am getting 3 to 7 copies of everything, sent out at 2-5 minute intervals. Started about a month ago, and no signs of it abating. > Dave > Anyway, I think we are started in getting Jeremy running. But I'm not the best one to post tuts, and I know it. And I know nothing about bldc motors and their drivers. And he seems intent on crippling the pi by exporting the gui. I tried, and it literally crawled, seconds behind the actual machines movement. The pi can run its framebuffer video at 7 or 8 frames a second and thats tolerable. I've rebuilt the spindle bore bent, using itself to refresh the MT5 bore, so now an er-40 adapter runs within a thou 3 to 4" away from the collet. I've refaced the backing plates and redrilled the 3 jaw version so its running true (for a 3 jaw Bison) and have done the same with a 4 jaw now. Both have been equipt with clamps to keep them from unscrewing on a quick as it can spindle reversal, so I'm making progress at restoring its precision. I think the spindle was bent when at some point way back in time, it fell over, landing on the compound hard enough to total it, and a 30 lb bison's weight was enough to put about a 4 thou bend in the spindle from that sudden stop. LinuxCNC doesn't need a compound, so thats now a nice looking carved block of cast iron I did on The Little Monster 7x12, relatively easy once I'd done the same thing to TLM. And I've since put tapered gibs in TLM. Whole new machine in performance now. Makes anything I can swing in its 5" 4 jaw. I used it, and the micromill doing EDM to make parts to cnc the sheldon. Really accurate tailstock alignment, and bed wear are the remaining yet to be completed items on the Sheldon. Bed wear I can use LCNC to compensate for to a large degree by starting with accurate measurements, which I'll have to make stuff to do as all I have ATM is a couple of accurate dials. But right now I need to get dressed and run a small trash trailer to the landfill, about a 35 or 40 mile round trip. And some kin is driving in from 430 miles north today, maybe I can beat them back.
