    I've just joined the Devonport Men's Shed here in Tasmania and they have a CNC router which is not geting much use. The machine iteself looks failrly solid but the controller is a RichAuto A11 and the VFD is not a make I recognise. The instructions are completely incomprehensible and even with my experience of using LinuxCNC I'm yet to make the spindle start either from the VFD control panel or the A-11 pendant, though it has run in the past I'm told, or to persuade it to run a G-code file when I want it to, though it has done so in the past I'm told.

    There is ominously little mention of RichAuto on the forum according to my searching. Does anyone have experience of actually making one of these things do useful work or know where to find some instructions in real English (or even American... or Australian)?
