Not mine but a router being sold.
I'm a noob and am not crazy about the antennas .

I mostly agree, but when problems arise, the issue is more likely to be located inside the box. Being able to disconnect it and troubleshoot on the bench is very convenient. Any complicated control system - like aircraft and cars - are all based upon modular units that can be tested before and after installation. I get your point though; my control box closely resembles Clough42's, but I used pass-through ports for most cables to allow them to connect directly to destinations. In my case, the reason wasn't reliability, but time, expense, and complication.ShawnM wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 11:35 pm ... What I find amusing is that some people use all these crazy panel mount connectors to run cables through the box, which will add another failure point, and you’ll never disconnect the box from the machine for any reason. You can’t troubleshoot anything with the box disconnected. Why would you want to disconnect it?![]()
Exactly, I worry more about the failure points that one adds when adding all those connectors.
Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I fail to see how someone can trouble shoot the control box when it's not hooked up to anything, namely power and the CNC machine. Everyone has their own way I guess.kb58 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 27, 2024 11:54 am I mostly agree, but when problems arise, the issue is more likely to be located inside the box.
