Al,
Actually, I am very handy with a soldering iron.. Used to replace chips in the Airforce all the time... Its been 20 years and when I looked at the chips on the 1822, I said no way.. I dont have a quality soldering iron, and I have never attempted to solder pins as small as the ones I am seeing on the 1822. I bet with a good iron and a nice large piece of glass to look into, I could probably do it. But then, buy the time I get done buying all that stuff, having galil do the repair would be cheaper.
I can not figure out a way to get all my commands that are directed at the X axis to work with the Y axis. Actually, my commands are more or less generic and the software defaults to the ONLY axis that is configured. I can not get the camsoft software to recognize Y as the only axis.
Oh well.. the card needs to be fixed anyhow.
I talked to a guy at Galil and they say $150 standard repair costs. But if they dont warranty it, I may begin looking for alternatives.
Anyone ever had a card with so many malfunctions? Strange stuff eh?
Thanks for all your help!
By the way, just out of curiousity, how is it you are so knowledgeable about the camsoft / galil combo ?? Do I dare ask if you have an affiliation with them? You sure seem to know your stuff. If I am not supposed to ask that question, then just ignore it..
