RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] +5V

Not true the best way around the +5 for signal return is to not use it.
If you have the G210 or the G 340 then reset the jumper for common
signal ground. Or if you have the G201/G320 you could always buy the
daughter boards to convert them. Barring not wanting to the two items
before this then convert the G201/G320 to common signal grounds by
removing the opto isolator and replacing it with a tiny board that
reconfigures the common to common signal ground from +5. Mariss designed
it in Autocad but I had to redraw it in my Cad program to have some
boards made. I just tested a G201 with the converter board and it a few
minutes ago and have it running nicely
