Thanks again.

Now the "other" thing that is worrying me is.....

Looking at this video 7:30 minutes in.

It mentions the "Axis" controls are 5v and goes on to say he blew the fuse by connecting 24v to the VCC on that side (you'll understand what I mean if you watch that section).

I am was worried about controlling the 24v servo with 5v, however in the last pics I sent showing the MB3 connected to a Panasonic Minas. The MB3 people connected to it directly... so i guess I may be worrying unduly?
