• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is 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. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Hey speedy, just keep that encoder under the 10MHz speed limit of the MESA board;-)

and Mine is Bigger then Yours;-)
That is quite the abundance of screw terminals. Careful wire labelling would probably be wise. And if you don’t already have one, get one of these:

Slicker than whale poop on an ice floe. No shorts or loose bits of wire and looks great when installed, colour coded by wire size.
 
I take it that was due to this tariff war stuff?
Yup, the Mesa fellow, Mike? gave me his industry code to check so I went to a government website and found that I would be charged. I was fine with that. But I suspect had I used Seawings CBSA migh6have given me a pass.
