uh - further exploration revealed a diagnostician error. When checking
joint_2 drive you really need to swap joint_2 with joint_1 instead of
joint_0 with joint_1.

I have copied the new-5i23 directory from the lib/firmeware/hm2 directory.
Is this all the files I need to install on a new hard drive?

Gentlemen,
Not to downplay the effort here I would like to say the actual time taken
to figure out the kinematics to be able to write the splash as shown was
probably no more than 4 hours. Chris was very effective implementing this.
By far the most time was the wiring - discovering and connecting
