That's a nice set up !!
I am waiting to hear back from Microchip about the "MPLAB PM3" . It would be nice to have a decent emulator for the PIC Micros.

Much better than me, Can see your desk much more so than you can see mine, and you're a Hakko Fan as am I and as a mater of fact the hot air station looks like the one I had before moving the Quick 861. Though for Chip Programming I one have the T56

I am going over the schematic and may make these changes:
1. Change the LM25575 to reduce the part count.
2. Add DB 25 to input, from 5i25 / 6i25.
3. Make all unused pins on J4 available.

One more item that is missing from the schematic "HOST PC / STEPPER / ENCODER" are the values for inductors L1, L2, L3, L4.
This is probably not critical.

I think they may have released the wrong schematic or schematic for different rev?

Tormach has also went silent. I guess it is time to do a video update LOL ohh well.

I did get a brief replay from Tormach CEO and then went silent again. They did release the VMC Console HID Board schematic and firmware.

I will be completing my follow up video to the 1st call out video shortly.

I dumped the firmware to the missing power drawbar controller. (Tormcah Permission to Post Public they will be adding it to their git hub soon) I also received a package from Tormach I have not opened yet. Package should contain a couple boards to recover the config bits.

I finally got to opening the package from Tormach. I should have time this weekend to read the config bits.
