I have been wanting computer control of the router for awhile now, so when Super-PID went on sale for the month of October, I jumped on it. Super-PID will give me a lot more than just on/off control of the router, but I can use all the extra functionality, too.
I need to modify the router in order to get full control, so this unit is going to sit for awhile until I get the new CNC machine sorted out.
I am currently wading through the thread on CNCZone about Super-PID. It’s a *lot* of information, covering the full development cycle of the unit over the past year. But I will have an easier time getting it installed, because other people have worked out the kinks already.
I will also be installing Hall Effect home switches on the new machine; I only mention it because the same guy designed both the Super-PID and the home switches. I have a couple Hall Effect sensor chips lying around, but I need to get them hooked up and tested.
More stuff for the todo list during this rainy winter.
