That feeling when you realize you have been doing dinner and anime with the group every week for more than a decade....
Encoder is working but it does not show up on boot. Needs a hotplug to be detected for some reason. Good enough to start taking bus traces and emulating.
Controls unwired and cabinet removed. Just the quill to remove before I have to get back into sketchy stuff.
Table back on and y lead screw thrust bearings adjusted. Need to do the gib and rear bearing mount yet
Finished adulting early so got some more of the lathe assembled. X lead screw, gibs adjusted, and tailstock on. Future me will hate current me as one of the locking set screws on the gibs is rounded out.
Today's shop progress. Got the x scale, mounting brackets, and cable management back in. Wish I remembered to do this before mounting the motor. Unfortunately getting good at removing and installing the motor.
Attention @CypherCon attendees, independent contest announcement: First person able to display a arbitrary, stable image using the factory IO on this display wins it, Pi pico 2 logic analyzer and LED board driver card BYOPP edition (ran out of picos).
No winner this year but made some progress. (pioc logic analyzer helped a lot) if the latch line is held for long periods of time eventually the mystery chip will start shifting out data to the LED drivers 16 bits at a time and latch it. So it does function.
