    That's a different approach, enclosing the base like that. Not sure I've seen that before. Should work great if you seal it up good. Just remember, chips get EVERYWHERE. Keep up the good work.

    Thank you, thank you. Yeah it was nice seeing the machine run around 40,000 lines of code and not miss a beat.

    Center Extents?

    Is there any way to center geometry about X0Y0? I'm talking irregular shaped geometry. Or is there a way to find the geometry extents? i.e. Max X, Min X, Max Y, Min Y

    Thanks again

    Okay so we have progress. I connected the LED's in series with a 10ohm resistor to 5V. Now I can get any switch to work, as long as the other two are blocked.
