We'll see what response I get from the vendor about the password in the next 24 hours. In the meantime I have figured out how to put a pretty good swarf shield over the X screw, and may duplicate it on the bottom of the saddle so even the air hose will have a hard time moving junk into the screw. And since this barrier is on the bottom of the cross-slider, but leaves a catch trench in the top, so I'll duplicate it on top so there is a smooth top on the cross-feed. I'll have to machine a shallow trench on the top so the top shield sits flush. > ---- Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > Greetings all; > > > > Those breakout boards I bought 2 of arrived today, and are > > apparently pin assigned according to what a mach3 system might use, > > including the male db25 on the pcb.
