I got that, but I'm still configuring a fresh sd card, and Michael's site at deb.machinekit.io is DIW. No response to a ping. So I've done the dist-upgrade, but don't even think about letting it install a new lightdm.conf, it totally wrecks the uses interface. So at this point, I do not have a ~/linuxcnc subdir. So I've puttered around with the power wiring, and of course Murphy is looking over my shoulder, one of the metal fittings on the side of a 4x4 box 2 frames deep hit the switched post on the power switch, so when I fastened the cover, plugged it into the wall and flipped the switch, fire rolled out of the box and the breaker went down. So the cover is off again, and I found Murphy's second gotcha, the spindle motor is running bass-ackwards. Getting to it in the vfd is difficult but theres a 4 square box in front of it that I can put a couple wire nuts in. :) It was sorta creepy, I'd put it in backgear, and set the vfd to 30 HZ, and the chuck is awfully close to dead silent, turning in reverse at about 30 rpm. Thats the first time that motor has actually turned the spindle. I need to go get the missus her daily crosswords in the local fishwrap, and I need to hit Lowes for a 3rd spacer frame for a 4 square, and maybe a few more of the blue plastic fittings for that corrugated plastic conduit. So I'll check in later to see if Michael H. has applied some mouth to mouth to his web site. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
