In removal, lube and reassemble of the quill in the head, I discovered that lcd display's controls are all alternate action, in addition too very well debounced. Nice, but the manual of course doesn't meantion it loud enough to register.
However, I had a stack of brass encoder wheels left from the lathe project, and laid one on them on top of the OEM 16 cycle wheel that drives the rpm display, although none too accurately as it takes several seconds to show a stable display, and its using tricks I used in some transmitter software to get the actual 4 digit number to display. Sucks, and I'm not too sure I care if it goes away as long as LCNC can display it. Any way, its OD is perfect +-10 thou, and the mounting holes for the OEM disk, only 2 of them, were an accidentally a perfect enough for the girls I go with fit, but I had to take it to the little mill and expand the center hole somewhat into the bolt circle diameter of the brass version. So it bolts up but sits low, so I need to find some washers for about 1.75mm bolts that are somewhat precisely made as it will take about 3 of them under it to jack the disk up and actually work with the existing slot interrupter. Then all I have to do is find 3 that match that interrupter, hopefully with Schmidt outputs active both ways. And make a new board for an A/B/X encoder. Outside pair follow the edge slots, the center one should sit just high enough to catch the index slot, whose circle diameter is about .15" smaller. Just inside the slots IOW. I did not expect to be so lucky on the wheel. Now if I could just figure out WTF my sugar is doing. At 3:30 am, nothing to eat since ab out 10pm, 138, slept in, at 11 AM 143, and now at 5pm, 154. And all I have had is black coffee since nominally midnight last night. I wonder when I'll run out... I'll go see if I can find something on fleabay. Thanks.
