Default Thanks to all who talked me out of repairing the Heidenhain controller

I would not even know what I was missing. Thanks to all


Way to go! Now can you do the math for 6 axis robotic arm kinematics? :-)

Once you get your electricals all done you might enjoy the software things
you can do. If you get into it deeply enough there could be advantages of
having the source code available.

I think it would be neat to make a CNC mill that you could operate manually,
maybe handwheels with encoders and toggle switches for feeds. CNC is great
for a new part but it's nice to have a manual mill for repair work, a CNC
mill could be programmed to operate like a manual mill for those instances
where you need to repair an occasional part.
