Planer Upgrade Project - Status Update

Post by gpmark »

Took a lot of reworking to turn the original controller into a control head with a few new features. But it's finally done and everything is ready for integration testing and calibration.

Here's a picture of the control head ready to be installed:

and one of the inside:

Stay tuned for final results and how-to.

Looks REALLY good. HUGE pics, I think you missed a speck of dust on the bottom left corner :p

I look forward to the rest of the story.

Side Bar:

How did you attach that large image to a post in this forum? I thought you could not exceed 800x600.

That's nice, but can you downsize it so we can see the whole thing?
