OK so plus 10 points for style, but minus several million for intelligence . .

but I do like the cable management job you did, very spiffy.

Re: pic: The chances we take!

there is a good lesson to be learned here, measure twice, cut once, or something like that. And why didn't you cover the electronics, to prevent the dust from getting in. we had to do some similar modifications to our electronics board also, but that was because we forgot to mount a speed controller.

Re: pic: The chances we take!

we did shave off from the opposite side as far as we could. also though, We did blow the whole thing off with compressed air for about 10 minutes and made sure to check for any shavings in the system before powering up. It was kind of getting crunch time when we did this, but we did take as much caution as possible while doing it... (should of thought of covering the crio ports though... oops )

Re: pic: The chances we take!

Dear god is there no other way other than to put that cRIO that close to the saw blade? Your electronics captain must have had a heart attack, and even after being revived had another one.

Re: pic: The chances we take!

lol... the angle kinda makes it look closer than it is. Once we got that close, we had backed it out and then we used a dremel tool. we had about 4 people guiding it through and watching it very closely..

and if you notice, the blade could not touch it because it's guard was just above the lexan so nothing besides the lexan could touch the blade.

Re: pic: The chances we take!

This is a joke, right?

Right?

It better be a joke. Two screws and two small cables, all easily removed, are the only things connecting the cRIO to the panel. Keeping the cRIO there and totally unprotected while running it through a band saw is, to put it bluntly, stupid.

I deleted a similar post draft of mine because I couldn't find a polite way to say it. Don't do this. This is why we have to label coffee as hot.

Re: pic: The chances we take!

Lol the sawdust can't be too good for the connections. You should've removed the cRio first.
