This is the first 'live' test of the ATX power supply to the Arduino inside the electronics enclosure. You may be able to see that end stops and motors have corresponding aviation connectors on the front panel as well as a connector for the spindle.

Ultimately the rocker switch on the top right front of the panel will feed the ATX power supply and the spindle power supply. The Volt / Amp meter is wired into the 12v Arduino feed which is supplying the stepper motors and the fans. I had the unit floating around not being used so whilst there isn't really a need for it here, it fills up some space on the front panel and it's got some nice numbers to look at. I suppose it's handy to see how much current will be pulled by everything through the Arduino at some point....

The next part to this should hopefully come out this weekend depending on when Amazon deliver some crimping stuff I ordered to finish off the A.C connections. Watch this space....
