Hi Henrik,

Nice to know I won't be flying blind with my choice of PIC. I am really getting in WAY above my head with this beast but what the heck - it only set me back $10
I will send you a copy of the new circuit diagram once I have finished it. Hopefully the pin-out for my needs should be relaitvely straight forward.
I will also do some forum searches on the 2431 and see what I can find.

I was very impressed with your Youtube video. Nice bit of motor control. Once I get my 9x20 lathe re-powered I will be looking to do a CNC conversion on my X2 mill. So much to do, so little spare time available...

Onwards and upwards

Cheers
Barry
