OK, I received my capacitors and installed them. Here is what happened. Too many wires. I got mixed up and twice hooked a ground wire into the neutral circuit. I found them and corrected it. I also rewired the ground system as was on the diagram. I guess you are supposed to follow the diagram. Tomorrow I will fire the whole system up, today I fired up the power supply and got 143 volts DC., with no smoke, so after going over the whole diagram tomorrow, I will again fire it up. I am confident there will be no more smoke this time. Here are some more pics. I installed a power strip so that all of the components can get power. I also added a folding shelf for my laptop. It will come in handy for videos for the tuning. This Centipede pci card is designed for Mach 3 and by reading the setup procedures, it sounds like there is no setting up. It appears that I only have to "check" the axis that I want to use and that is it. The driver knows everything else except tuning. I am not running "home", so I don't "check that, but I will be checking "limits". If anyone out there has setup Centipede, let me know. I setup a wifi extender so that I could have wifi out in the garage and it works fine, spent 40 bucks on it, a Belkin, just plug it in to a wall outlet, and of course the security code. Bob.
