I definitely will. I have quite a bit of information gathered into this so I just need to put the effort into getting it in a manner that can be shared.
The wiring is no where near where I would like it to be at this point. I kind of went deeper into keeping the original CNC4 control box prior to finding all of these problems so everything is crammed into there at the moment. I won't be leaving it in that state, but at this point it is working so it won't be a high priority to change it until either circumstances force the measure or my OCD gets the better of me and I put the time into it.
I am actually glad it took the turns it did in the setup & repair process as I learned a lot more about the machine than I likely would have otherwise. With the machine working and knowing that I want to make changes to it further gives me time to use it and make further refinements to the direction I have already started to think about for controls, enclosures, etc.
