  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area.

    So there's nothing COTS that let's me easily extend the socket pins from the original board to the new one. I used a machined high quality socket for the base ELS with the idea that maybe some time in the future I could insert these special rows of machined pins into the socket and into the...

    EZ-CAM

    I'm still using V25. Works best with AlibreCAM. The problem is once I save with say V27 or V28 it's no longer readable by V25 and they refuse to add a Save As Version feature. So I have V28 so I can read your AlibreATOM files.

    This is what it looks like in MecSoft. Not as nice as Alibre with funny movement ICONs.

    EZ-CAM

    Totally agree. Here's V28 which surprisingly still works with the AlibreCAM setup information. However when I tried a different part I got a crash message that there was some sort of unresolved issue. BTW. You can download and play with it. The trial version I think even lets you save the...

    EZ-CAM

    Looks to be a similar process to MecSoft AlibreCAM (VisualCAM) other than it doesn't have the same look and feel as AlibreCAD. More like they were given the file format of AlibreCAD and imported that so they could identify the information of the part.

    Almost all the parts installed. The crystal is just sitting there while I wait for a 12Mhz part. That and a few others. Don't want to install the PIC32 until everything else has been tested. I've ordered 15mm stand offs and a few other parts to try and get the two to fit together. Biggest...

    Yahoo! The PC boards arrived. Now to make sure I have all the parts and assemble one. The software was written for a slightly different PIC32 but should port easily enough assuming the board even works. If it does it means I can retrofit my ELS to use a quadrature encoder with a proper...

    DavidR8's shop shenanigans

    To be fair I received four LCD displays on Friday ordered 09APR25 so about 20 days from AliExpress. OTOH, I'm still waiting for 2mm drill bits ordered 26FEB25 and "arrived at local airport" on 18MAR25. It's now time yet again to claim non-delivery. Seems very hard to get 2mm drill bits from...
