I do odd things just
to see if it can be done, like running a 1500 lb, 80 yo Sheldon lathe
with an rpi4. Probably more accurately than by hand, and 5 to 10x faster
than hands turning cranks could run it in 1955. Keeps me out of the bars
dontcha know. At 86 yo, I'd best stay away from those.
Hi Gene,
I missed engineering in high school as they were building a new
building for it when I was that age. I love programming but if
you ever feel like posting a few pics of your setup I'd love to
see 'em. My Mum's Dad was first a master baker and then later
a foreman and fitter.
