2024-08-05: It works!

NOTE: There is NO stop switches installed, so it will gladly tear through the bed, or really try hard to run itself off the rails if you let it. And if you are pinned between it and an edge, expect an emergency room visit at the least.

The X,Y& Z axis are moving. The Spindle control is working UGS works well with the system.
