3 weeks in and I am still waiting on a bag of bypass caps I bought to finish up this ATS667 based encoder for this lathe. By the end of the week I'll be putting 1 uf, 16 volt tantalum's, even physically smaller, in it just to see if they will work. > On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 8:37 PM, Danny Miller <dan...@austin.rr.com> wrote: > > On 10/23/2016 4:28 PM, Gene Heskett wrote: > >>> No biggie, on my CNC (not an SBC) I just added a wifi USB already. > >>> > >>> Mesa 7i92 are totally available from the mfg: > >>> > >>> http://store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_i > >>>d=30 2 > >> > >> Not according to that web page 2 hours ago.

Container ships are lined up out on the bay's waiting to be docked & unloaded. We've turned into a consumer society here, and need to build bigger ports to handle the inflow from China. And labor was doing a slowdown too. Not much noise in the media, they're too busy bashing each other to notice the Christmas stuff isn't filling the back room at Wallies at its usual full by mid-October rate.
