The top trace (blue) is the chip select (active low). The second trace down is the data-out clock which clocks the data bits out on the rise and the comp records on the fall. The green trace shows the value while I turned the knob up. At 1023, the next step drops to 0 or vice-versa. It looks like the sensor is not available separately.

Too bad, nice product. Now, I need to apply the encoder to feed and spindle override and jog. I suppose I will need to mechanically keep the knob from wrapping, or maybe do it in logic? Since the encoder is absolute, when it gets enabled, it will instantly output whatever value the knob is set for. I wonder this might become a problem? Should there be a way to automatically move the knob to a safe setting? -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA -- Download Intel#174; Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.

I am missing some forearm hair, but my eye brows are fine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5-xS9sDuLg Propane is interesting, I think because the molecule is short, so the flame is short. My guess is the short flame causes a fairly tight pressure wave that can feed back to the regulator causing an unstable feedback. On propane only, the burner has a bit of a pulse jet sound and can be hard to keep lit. I put a flare and reducer on my propane only burner to get more of a de Laval nozzle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle This helped a lot, I think because the pressure wave is directed to the output side of the burner. I need to do the same for the oil burner. The oil has a much longer flame with a bunch more heat, but needs to be vaporized before it will burn. Currently, I run the propane at idle to get just enough of a flame to vaporize the oil, but the oil does the heavy lifting. Eventually, the walls of the furnace glow orange and I can turn the propane off, but by then the aluminum has been melted and poured. so I ask; Did you ever consider using a large TIG welder to create a small Arc oven?
