Re: ORAC CNC lathe
Hello
Thank you for this detailed procedure. I have used the technique of cutting pins off a chip and soldering a DIL holder onto the stubs but with only one or two chips. Suspect I will need to check that the increased height does not interfere with the other board when they fit together. I have ...

Hello
Thanks I'll do this swap and let you know the result. Of the four LED's that are mounted vertically the top one is green (not on) - it is the second LED from the top that is on when the machine is powered up. Yes I do have a compressor!
