Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] help with g201 needed

Hi Alan,

Since I got the info that it was the opto that failed and to check my
wiring I've looked everything over and can see no problems. I installed
the repaired 201 and it seems to be working great. I have no idea why the
opto failed, maybe a small piece of swarf got in there and shorted
something out? I'm happy that it's working now but would be happier if I
new what caused the problem in the first place.
