Eric,

Go to http://www.talkshopbot.com/forum/messages/27/332.html#POST21945 and read the postings re the Rumblepad. I have been using one with my Bot for a couple of years.

And for those of us who have trouble remembering numbers larger than "20", there is the Character Map under Programs/Accessories/System Tools.

My testing gave same results as Dan. Tried numerous times with FireFox (XP and Ubuntu). Had to use office computer with XP and IE7.

Neville,

My copy is also signed by Mark. Does that increase or decrease the E-Bay value? And what if I am able to get Tony to sign it when I go to Birmingham in February? Will I be able to...

Hmm... If I sell my second Z and get an indexer...
Going to have to think about this.

James,

Did you use Aspire for this one (the rare autographed copy)?

Gerald, I am surprised you do not know the purpose of "pin feathers".

Bruce, a quick question about changing the air in your tires:

Since the air at sea level is denser than air at altitude, does it require more force to put 35 pounds of thick air into your tires...

Gean,

First, I am not a lawyer so my comments are worth nothing from a legal standpoint. Second, you have done the right thing in consulting a lawyer.

I have followed this issue for several...

Jack,

If you don't want to cut the wires, do a homerun back to the controller. There is really nothing special about the wires.

Of course, if you go the less expensive route you have to...

Jack,

Try this topic "Proximity Switch for Z Axis".

This is sounding more and more interesting.

Here is how I make a simple cutoff using VCarvePro:

Material size = 1.5" x 11.5" x 96"
Bit size = 0.50"
Desired length = 40"

1. Create material using lower-left corner as XY origin...

I need to go find some "medication".

<sarcasm>
Just what I need. Something else to keep me at the computer and out of the shop.
</sarcasm>

Great idea!

Joe,

Search the forum for "SSR-240D25". This will give you a simple way to achieve your goal -- no components to assemble.

I am hoping to get mine wired in the next week or so.

Randy

Not that I would ever gloat, but I got mine Thursday! I guess that commits me to attend next year's Jamboree.

Danny,

It is wired into the proximity switch cable. I cut the existing wiring a couple of inches from the end of the shrink wrap and spliced the new switch onto the black and the green wires --...

I have just finished a couple of weeks testing an inexpensive limit switch on the Z and A axes of my PRT 4G. I no longer have the problem of raising either of them too high -- no more gnashing of...

I haven't tried it, but you might want to check out the "FC" command.

A strobe is probably going to be the best bet for getting your attention.

Here is one strobe that I found when I Googled "telephone strobe". Maybe it can be adapted for use with a doorbell.

Robert, I don't see how you can do this on a Bot unless you have a 4th axis. The cuts are made on an angle so that the top surface of one ring is slightly larger than the bottom surface of the next...

Danny,
I agree with the posters who advocate vacuuming the dust rather than blowing it and would go further by recommending that you get a HEPA filter for the vac. You health is worth so much more...
