I posted some pics and such in a thread over on cnczone.com
http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8309
is the link.
Not much new info and I have not drawn up a schematic of the circuit
boards just yet. I'd be curious if anyone could follow the design
looking at the picture of the circuit board and description. .hehe
But I will draw up a schematic as soon as I can. But as I found each
mouse is a bit different in it's design. See the thread where I have
pictures of the 2 mice and the one where I had to eliminate one of it's
transistors to give the sensors proper ground (could tell by following
the circuit on the back of the mouse board.
Hopefully tonight I will have time to mount the other mouse to my mill.
So far I've only had the x axis mouse mounted and only just finished
wiring the Y axis mouse.

Bill,
I read and will continue to watch what you are doing to whip
unrelenting mice into DRO submission. I have a vehicle down and have
to finish it before I play with the mice, but have research it some
on the net. I will anxiously await your instructions and/or parts
list, plus rereading your post. I am not versed well in electronics,
but have done programming in C++ and love Visual Basic. Most
anything can happen. Keep up the work on "DRo. Frankenmouse"
