Every day Maho is looking more and more the part!  Today I build a forever home for the PC and monitor.

Consoling a Milling Machine

High time I moved the CNC control PC and monitor off of the shop trash can... in this video we build them their own treehouse.

Thank goodness you’re still there! I was getting worried!

Yay! It’s always a better day when there’s a new vid from Tony. :)

Hey I set up my mill for "CMC" with those same encoders. If you're interested in my arduino code / wiring then I'd be glad to share. All it took was a single arduino nano and power supply to handle two encoders. I think you'd need something bigger for 3 encoders because I've used almost all the inputs on the nano.

Here is the first version I built, it functions as a virtual keyboard with the arduino sending keystrokes to the pc when you turn the encoders:

My newer version uses the arduino nano and it sends pulses to the stepper drivers directly, so that might be less applicable to your setup with mach4.

I laughed a little too hard--and too many times--at the sheet metal gags!

Great build Tony. One question: At 3:38 you put a block on the sheet metal. I have a block that looks identical and wondered if yours is for your Hossfeld bender.

No particular comment. Just thank you. On a rough day, a new video was just what me and my kids needed, thank you for the inspiration and the joy that your videos bring.

Would be really amazing if you could have some torque feedback linked to the motor load so you get that manual feel.
