I am thinking of purchasing the next level of Group.io in order to have a files folder. It used to be $20.00 per month. The GitHub files would be copied here and then if anyone has custom files such as for the various size Nextion displays they could post them in a ready access place. There are other benefits to having a paid group, I am sure. Ralph -- Craftsman 101.07403 12x36 Lathe, Clausing 8520 Vertical Mill, Buffalo 4x12 Mini Lathe, Delta 14" Bandsaw.

I thought I would add a few photos of my progress so far. Having broken my 3.2" screen, I have borrowed another and await my 3.5"..... By putting the encoder pulley on the tumbler gear setup, I can completely disengage the system. The gear train cover still closes. I have yet to consider whether it is worth making a cover for the stepper end. The control box is still loose and can't be fitted until I have my NVR switch but once that is fitted, I can tidy up all the wiring. The stepper end setup has an idler gear - this was to make it easy for me to adjust the belt tension rather than putting the stepper on a sliding bracket (I also had a spare idler!) Once I have established how to create a video, I will upload something to show it all working.

I'm wondering if this size of screen is being discontinued? I had an accident yesterday and now I have a cracked 3.2" screen and no touch facility - aarrgghh! Trying to source a replacement requires quite a bit more cash or certain sellers say it is not available or being discontinued. The 3.5" one should be available at a sensible price - does anyone know if the 'code' will work with that size? I can worry about the format in due course. Matt

I'm getting there and today, the mockup allowed me to cut a very accurate M10 x 1.0 thread including stops - very impressed. One thing - is it easy to program the Nextion screen so that say, the direction arrows or the Metric / Inch boxes remain green when selected (or another colour)? It's probably me but I find the difference between grey and black a little confusing. The only other things that springs to mind is the ability to set the stops a little easier - the direction control takes ages to ram up and then becomes too fast too quickly - if that makes sense. I'm not sure if that is easy to change.... I'll do a video in a day or so with photos.... Matt

Hi, I'm going to implement Jon's ELS on my Myford and if that all goes well, then I will do the same on another lathe I have. Matt

Howdy, I am fairly green when it comes to machining and have a limited shop. I have a Logan 400 lathe and I want to install both a Touch DRO and an ELS control on my lead screw. I ordered my iGauging Accurate Plus scales and need to order the DRO adapter and tablet. Once I'm done with this project, I would like to start the ELS project. I've signed up to John's github sight and have been going through his information. I noticed that his LCD panel is no longer available and I was totally confused on which stepper motor to purchase as well as stepper motor controller. I'm totally new to this sort of work conversion (stepper/encoder/controller, etc.) and my software skills suck. I am hoping that I can go post on this forum to get advice on purchasing substitute items that are no longer available and getting advice on the stepper motor selection, the sheeve ration, the sheeves for the encoder, etc. But, first I need to make the Touch DRO work. I signed up for Yuri's website a couple of days ago but the admin (I think Yuri) hasn't approved my application so I can't post over there yet. I'm really excited to get this controlled lead screw working. Looking forward to communicating with you all. Dave

John, we would love to see pictures of the workshop! You must be settled in now. Hopefully in two or three months I can get back to implementing AtomicELS.
