Pete wanted to see my machine. I made NO ATTEMPT to clean up. Lots a
wires hanging around. You can see I'm not done yet.

Problem of the moment is not being able to turn the Z axis ball screw.
I started work on the Z while waiting for some stupid little pins from
Mouser. Otherwise, X and Y servos are ready for testing. I normally
finish one step before starting the next.

The two panel pics is where I've been living lately. Still a lot of
connections to complete. I have the control running and I check out as
I go. Perhaps a more experience refitter would wire the whole damn
thing then check out.

Lots of pics have the camera turned, they are sideways in the dropbox.

I'll look at them in more detail in the next day or two. I see that your
ATC is not the basic carousel style used on the somewhat smaller
machines. Looks like you'll be needing at least four outputs and about
eight inputs to control it, and a bit more scripting for the tool change
routine. Nothing overly complicated, just a bit more than the basic
carousel type. On that relief valve I believe that the hex nut seen just
past the black knob is the lock nut which prevents the setting from
changing due to vibration. You'll likely need to back that off a good
half to one turn before the knob will turn.
