Snapped some pics of the newest additions to the parts collection. Finally decided to shift some focus back to the control side of things. Spent this past weekend at machine shop and finished programming/machining the sub chassis for the compressor for the reactor. I'm sure some of you are asking "What for?". The system, when fully built will be entirely remotely operated, and more specifically, automated. The entire system - gas handling, valving, data collection, will be entirely computer controlled allowing me to dial in set parameters and functions. Started writing the code for everything about 2 years ago. Coming along nicely. The compressor seen here is a just a small re-purposed system that will interface with a custom manifold (pressure regulation, check valves, distribution, etc) that will power various valves and other misc components. Total complete overkill, but that's how I love it/demand it. Anything worth doing is worth over doing. I have also attached some screen shots of the CAD as well. Cheers!

It's amazing that the entire system - gas handling, valving, data collection, will be entirely computer controlled.
