Ah! Might change and probably will. Murphy and all his cousins are alive and well. Thanks for the comment. However, I update very sparselystill running on a 1200 Duron and 2.5? Clearly time to upgrade. ;-) My goal is to consistently make chips. Dave On 01/05/2017 05:15 PM, Kurt Jacobson

Nicklashello the time from voltage turn-on until the voltage dropis the ionization time this can be used as an indication of the gap 'clean'. the idea is that IF the gap is very clean , and constantly clean, each ignition delay time measured will be uniform and will be a 'standard' value for

I found out the hard way that it is not a good idea to select the kernel numerically (e.g. GRUB_DEFAULT="2>3") since if another kernel is added (by an update?) the order might change. I now use the string method as below exclusively and have not had any surprises since. GRUB_DEFAULT="Previous

I am thinking about the ionization and sparc counters. These counters might be useful to calculate how well the process work and maybe adjust parameters? On Mon, 2 Jan 2017 23:53:55 +0700 TJoseph Powderly wrote: > Hello > video of early iteration of edm panel in use >

Not yet I am still thinking. CANopen is used on CAN but I have also seen implementation over Ethernet and guess same packet could be routed to serial or SPI. CANopen protocol is attractive because it have simple PDO for real time data and SDO for dictionary with parameters. What I want is a

Thanks again Andy. It worked. Even thought my speed control (mc-60) is cheap and low-tech, I am able to make the speed track better than +/- 5% from 20 to 1200 rpm under reasonable thread cutting loads. That ain't bad for recycled junk. This exercise with the 5i25 and 7i78 has forced me
