Hi Gang, I get all my group e-mail as digests, and I am a member of 20 odd groups. If anyone wants the plans I mentioned, please send me a note off- line, as I...

You might call it "Rube Goldberg" but it's based on sound "FLUIDIC" principles and should have a very repeatable detection point. That said, it would seem to...
It would seem to have a problem. It will work well against a vertical surface as shown. There is an angle perhaps around 45 degrees where the ball will not...
... I think the technology is somewhat related to Fluidics, but there are moving parts (the ball) and the movement of the ball is the thing sensed, not the...
The function of this device is for edge finding, not as a digitizing probe. It would only be used in a sideways movement. Which is why, to me, it is a Rube...
I bought a retrofitted Bridgeport clone mill that has size 42 stepper motors on it. The controller was blown up and in the process of trying to debug it the...
