Hi there everyone. I'm from the West Midlands in England. I'm refurbishing a Pinnacle 3-axis mill for use on microwave and RF components. It had an old controller made by North East Electronics fitted but this has gone toes-up and been replaced with a Routout stepper controller and a PC running Mach3. I've learned a lot about computer interfacing and getting 5v logic gear to talk to 400V motors nicely and without fuss, screaming or flames. I'm surprised and delighted by the results so far, there has been a notable lack of explosions and a good deal of what I can pass off as results. in fact it's all quite enjoyable. Learning more about G-code and M-code is the next step, which I may need a bit of help with. Onwards and upwards
