= Welcome to the Factory Software Blog Trac Site =

This site and its companion [http://svn.factoryswblog.org Subversion site] provide support and a repository for my blog.

This Trac site is read-only because I don't have time to deal with wiki-spam and such.

=== My Standard Cabling ===
Since I have so many different motors and drives, I have decided to wire them all to some common standards, so I can plug any motor into any appropriate drive.  I will standardize some of the I/O such as limit sensors, but probably not all; for example, analog I/O might be hard to standardize.
