Kewl, thanks Ray~!
I'll look forward to it...just as soon as I get a better feel for the EMC.
It's getting better, but I think I'm at the point where I need the driver
finished
and a few progs ready to run to see "what happens when I push....this!"

Hey, by the way, what's the deal with the estop?
Do ya turn the machine on first, or reset the estop first?

And how do ya know when to use "manual", "auto", or "MDI"?
If all this is covered in some part of some manual,
just let me know and I'll try and find it.
But so far if I hit the "help" button at the top,
I get a blank window, and I didn't find it in the HTML file.
