Re: Rick Mercer in Oshawa
Glad to hear I wasn't the only one. I saw him going around at GTRE which was great to see. The coverage and the light that they portrayed FIRST in I thought was fantastic!

Re: Your tall opaque robot is now illegal

Re: What Type of Connector is this?
Looked it up and that appears to be the cable I have infront of me. Thanks for the help!
It is a MKS Base V1.3 board used for xyz coordinate systems (such as the 3d printer it is controlling).
