Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] microkinetics

Doug,
I really can't say it was too bad inside. The wire layout was simple and
orderly. The only possible issue was the L.E.D. indicators for I/O. They had
pigtails on them and the wires ran back accordingly. There wouldn't be much else
they could do unless they put the LED's on a pc board and ran a ribbon cable.

I ended up redoing a little bit of the original wiring when I added a few Relays
for output control. I also installed a separate AC Input Plug, whereby all the
AC powered Items like spindle and dust collection are on a seperate circuit from
the Drivers.

My only real complaint are the "touchy" acting drivers. I hope to change those
out to Gecko's. I would purchase a set of 210's right now, but I think I should
wait until the FlashCut boys release their next version with extended steps per
second capability via USB communication.
