Just an update on the progress of the Controller and my build. I've modified some old older code by Poida and have this doing most of what it's supposed to do - I think - so the controller PCB is fine no changes except for one tiny link.
Wiseguy mentioned that the Nano silkscreen was back to front, so the USB port on the Nano should face the edge of the PCB, not face inwards as shown. That my soon change with the next PCB, but some of us have the current PCB and mine was not damaged when powered up back to front.
Using the Nano for the controller is brilliant. IMHO it's worth getting the onboard 12V supply module, this is a real quality unit and worth it.
I have been waiting for a few toriod rings and have had to take it easy for a few weeks, so a little behind in getting the final build done.
I believe the Nano code from Poida is close to release, a lot of testing going on to make sure it's right, IMHO the Nano Controller it leaves the old 8010 based controllers in the dust, and I've used quite a few variations of the 8010 controller.
