Nice work!
What is the small display in the upper right hand corner of your control panel for?

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
Thank you! The display will be "spindle load". It will be driven by an analog output of the VFD showing a percent of rated output current.
I'll add the buttons, too..
Blue - tool check
Yellow - feed hold
Green - cycle start
Red - cycle stop
E-Stop
Power

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
Labels look awesome.
Have you thought about adding a USB port to the front panel for loading programs, saving reports, etc....
That way you won't have to open the control panel when you need to do those things.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
Thank you! The control panel will be screwed closed. The Intel NUC front panel is accessible from the side away from the spindle. I use Dropbox and WiFi to handle any file transfers. The opening was existing. I’ll make a new cover that trims out the NUC front panel.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
I use these snap in, panel mount, USB connectors. You can get them with 1-6 feet of cable to plug in to the back of your CNCPC. Dust cover is a nice, added feature. Around $8 online.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
Originally, I had planned to do an external USB port or two like you guys are referring to. Like I said in my previous post, I have the front panel of the NUC accessible on the side of the control panel enclosure that’s away from the spindle. Should work out really well.

Re: Tree Journeyman 425 mill retrofit
Hooked up motors to drives and was able to jog the table around.
Can't get the most basic homing to work:
Removed home/limit switches from the wizard to see if I could figure it out. Not sure what's up.
