2004/04/03. A friend came over and we wired up the motor.
We plugged it in and hit the power button.
Beautiful!
The motor controller is really amazing.
We could control the motor speed very, very accurately, feel constant torque,
and change directions electronically.
There's still a lot to learn, but I know enough now to make the motor useful.
One of the biggest advantages is that I don't have to make step pulleys to
drive the lathe.
I can get by with a single pulley and use the controller to set the speed.
This is especially nice because I don't have a lathe to make pulleys yet!
