The HIWIN AC drive manual mentioned recently in another thread begins with a couple fascinating cautions. * Do not dismantle or modify the product. * Before installing or using the product, check the external appearance. * Do not try to repair any product malfunctions. If we applied this thinking to EMC... pardon me, LCNC we would do nothing at all with it. EMC was an experiment by the NIST. (National Institute of Standards and Technology) It moved into the open when Matt Shaver asked NIST if their stuff was open source. At that point Matt was a NOOB, as was John Elson and Dan Falck soon after. I'm probably misquoting Robert Heinlein, but he taught me that, "We learn from mistakes, if we learn at all." So let's rejoice in our civil NOOBS, and ignore the less than civil ones... help when we are able. and take pleasure in LCNC and those who enjoy it. I remember watching a German built 6 axis mini hexapod, half the size of a sheet of paper jumping around on Till's desk. The EMC was running on an old 486 processor. Damn that was thrilling. Ray
Ray Henry, a voice from the past! I'm the Gene in an Econoline van that stole most of your butternut for 50 bucks all those years ago. Some of it is the paneling in my kitchen cabinets now. And gets the oohs and aahs by visiting frogs. And thanks for the impromptu picnic in your back yard the night before.
I hope your health is holding up, I'm 88, alone now with a chest full of new parts but doing well for the years.
Take care and stay well Cheers, Gene Heskett. -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
