Back working on my G1000 FTD

[rfresh737]

Just a note to everyone who might have an interest in the G1000 Trainer, I'm back working on my FS1000 FTD which is a desktop control box with real switches and knobs to interact with the Garmin G1000 Trainer software (which runs on a PC).

I'm documenting my work as I go at this website: www.glassFTD.com

I took some time off to dive into a rabbit hole called low powered laser machines. I found it too expensive to keep sending out my CAD drawings to have my panels laser cut, so I decided to buy my own DIY laser kit and build it myself. Well, after 10 long months of getting educated on these laser machines and having to write my own CAM software to make it cut out my panels, I can finally now get back to my FS1000 FTD project!

Welcome back Ralph, we all get side tracked now and then...  The important thing is that we keep coming back.

Looking forward to seeing some more pictures of your new laser in action.

Great news.  I'll be watching.
As a side note, I know I speak for a few of us when I say we'd love to see a page on your website where you detail your laser cutter and software.  I'm browsing for a laser cutter myself and would be interested to see what you ended up with.
