I am awaiting my new EX controller, AV70S, Servo motors and moving rack ATC. The more I read about it, the more psyched I get. You all have really outdone yourselves on this system.
I watched Eric’s ATC Aux Box sneak preview video and with the Ether1616 with the extra relay modules, and the pneumatic valves they added, it looks like there is a lot of room for expansion.
How many spare pneumatic valves are there that are not used to drive Avid specific things, (like ATC rack, draw bar, etc…).
Same question for the relays. I know there are two in the EX Controller box where the M12 connection for the Module Relay box connects. What about in the Aux box? How many relays are unused? I assume we could add another Ether1616 board and two more Centriod relay boards if we really needed it.
And, for the ATC rack, if one was willing to sacrifice a few more inches at the end of the table, is there any reason we could not add additional tool positions on the other side of the moving rack? Does each tool position have its own sensor? If so, that might be another reason to add an additional Ether1616 board, for extra inputs.
