Hi
Ralph and guys.
I
intend to reintroduce the digital feed ELS and RELS files, and
photos back into the digitalhobbyist forum next week.
As
you remember, the original digital work was very well set out
by a Russian guy named Igor ? and basically worked around
driving electronically a lead screw for a mini Sieg type
lathe.
But
the RELS system grew from Igors original work? by R Edwards.
Power feed X Z, screw cutting, taper cutting etc etc.?
All
the files and photos that were originally entered into
digitalhobbyist a few years ago by R Edwards, without my
knowledge or consent within 2 weeks were pulled. so I asked
Edwards? WHY ??
He
said he did not want the KGB knocking on his door because
Igors work was not "open source". I am sure Russia has a lot
more problems on the world stage at this moment?to worry about
electronic?lead screws.
I
think it?was a very sad?case at the time of Edwards not
wanting to be involved in the RELS unless he had
complete?control and you do?it "my way or the?highway",?and no
debates. This is called Autocratic?management.?
I
know in the past John D had a few issues with Edwards to say
the least
when
he first bought one of John?s proven controllers.
But
time moves on.?
I
will reintroduce the RELS piece by piece, and put back info
and photos into digitalhobbyist, as I have full backups of?
schematics, Arduino, sketches etc etc and AtomicELS? and are
all welcome to glean any information that?might be helpful.
The
Arduino files reference the?encoder may be beneficial.
I
am prepared to answer any questions regarding the RELS? as I
built 3 complete units, but bearing in mind I do not have a
post degree in electrical engineering
and
only savvy with RELS on mini lathes, but a lathe is a lathe
whatever size you have.
Needless
to say Edwards is no longer allowed to post, read, etc etc any
digital hobbyist forum news.
Thanks
for your understanding, a long time overdue email?from me,
sorry for that.
