Andy,
funny you mention the 24v supply. The machine came with one and I am
trying to determine if it is usable now with my intentions to run entirely
on single phase. The solenoids that are in the machine are actually quite
nice and 110v control voltage is as far away as the wall around here so I
am thinking either would be suitable and the 110v setup might be less prone
to noise issues altho the 24v control is industrial standard from what I
gather. I am currently trying to wrap my head around where to mount the
computer setup which will be entirely open and hard mounted inside the HUGE
electronics cabinet. I did remove a large U-shaped sheetmetal bracket that
was mounted on the top of the enclosure upside down that I may reassign to
computer motherboard,power supply, harddrive mounting duties. I am
thinking it may allow me to be a little clever about the way I run the
control wires from the mesa cards to the new drives and back.
I am anxious to get the mesa cards and apparently I MISSED a signature
required fedex shipment yesterday and may not be able to access it until
friday or monday. That is PROBABLY me new mesa cards altho it might
actually be the solid state hard drive and memory cards I ordered too.. I
am going to be wading into rather deep water here learning how to configure
the mesa cards as well as learn my way around linuxCNC too. I SINCERELY
hope I have made the right decision here. I mean this machine is not a toy
to me, I fully intend to run the piss out of it once it is running. This is
not a hobby anymore and I hope to be able to make some good money with the
resultant machine and that will rely heavily on the choice of components
and the operating system's capability and reliability. I guess time will
tell... peace
Pete
