If you ask me there is a lot more Sailing in 20 minutes at the MicroMagic pool than in the rich boys pissing contest they call AC33.

Translucent Two
The second PIKANTO production hull was taken out of the mould today. It's made with a clear gelcoat and will be painted later.
I've created a PIKANTO-Page which will have details about the project and future sales.
Sunday Seven
Long time no run (outside, that is). Snow is a soft and forgiving, if not very fast, surface to run on. Recommended.
Made another PIKANTO on Saturday, this time with a clear gelcoat. Will be interesting to see it out of the mould on Tuesday or Wednesday, stay tuned.

Wires, wires, wires…
Number of wires from servo-motor to controller on my lathe build: 19.
1: Motor power U
2: Motor power V
3: Motor power W
4: Hall sensor +5V
5: Hall sensor U
6: Hall sensor V
7: Hall sensor W
8: Hall sensor GND
9: Encoder +5V
10: Encoder A
11: Encoder B
12: Encoder Z
13: Encoder GND
14: +Limit switch Common
15: +Limit switch N.O.
16: +Limit switch N.C.
17: -Limit/Home switch Common
18: -Limit/Home switch N.O.
19: -Limit/Home switch N.C.
The motor currents go through the AMP-connecor, everything else through the 25-pin D-connector.
I'm glad the lathe only has two servos (and a spindle), I would go mad with a 5-axis machine...
Winter
It is not very often you see this kind of snow-plower-winter-tram!
7k walk from Kumpula to downtown. Google earth inserts a golf-playing green man at every kilometer.
