I found it! I have no clue what the difference between #102 = [[#<variable>] + #<nother_variable>] is but removing the extra [] fixed it. The top of the board and its half holes are done, so to save 90 minutes etching the bottom, I did the bottom drill file first to see if the holes would meet in the middle of the boards thickness. They appear to, although I saw the unguided #61 bit wibble a bit as it touched (the bot.etch file would have spotted a starter dimple for the drills in the middle of a pad that would have stopped that) but its about half done with the bottom etch now and looking usable or better. There is a text file to label the pads the cable is soldered into once this one is done in about 40 minutes. That may wait till morning as its 23:00 here and my feet are killing me. So I should have a working encoder for the lathe again sometime tomorrow. Yippee! Thanks Andy.
