Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] upgrade

Hello Jonathan

I think I have a M3 firmware bandit with RS232 hookup

Actually I have two of em. I bought one from an Ebay deal that turned out to
be a great guy and contact.

So now I have two BP's one a 59 and a 79. Both vari speeds. Ya, I know, I am
very lucky. I know.
Its an R8 also.

Now you will have to go a little slow for me on the "quadrature output "
stuff. I'm not stupid but this end of things are not the easiest to grasp.

I do Autocad.
CNC programming in machining machines (milling) and screw machine (turning)
and excel formulas, spreadsheets, manual machining etc.
I wired my own house, put in a 200 amp system to the pole, built an 800 sq
ft addition, concrete, excavate and roof with rafters over 2700 sq ft. Setup
a generator system and do RC toys.

BUT.........

What you just said only makes half sense. lol know what I mean?

Thats why I said "package deal".
