Russell is doing physio every day now, He has an epic commute to get there though.
All the way down the path, past the shed, out the back gate, up the lane past 2 whole other houses, and into the back gate of the physio's place.
He is allowed to take his arm out of the sling now when he is at home, The doctor said everything was going really well and predicted in a year he should be about back to normal. For the next 2 months though he's not allowed to lift anything heavier than a wallet with his arm. When he gains that much range of motion again I'm sure that limit will piss him off lol.
Hasn't slowed the CnC conversion on the mill too much though, The electronics box is pretty much done (all on the mill), I'll show Russell how to post photos tomorrow hopefully so you can see all the pretty.
Heh I also found a use for my old desktop, a Dual Xeon 3.06Ghz (P4 style Xeon), running EMC2. Maximum latency is 3usec, now I just have to see if i can get the nvidia driver working to see if i can have full openGL support with the realtime kernel. On single CPU machines the NVIDIA driver causes big problems, but this has one CPU isolated from the schedualer and totally devoted to the realtime stuff.
It must be the most computationally overpowered mill in the world I reckon, I'll have to get it crunching folding at home or something in its off times. HAH maybe turn it into the webserver or TV computer backend. _________________ Mechanical engineers build weapons, civil engineers build targets
