    Movement looks awesome there GA!

    Did you have any problems with the pot settling at home (interference) or is everything nice and quite at rest?

    Also what speed are you running there on AMC, for a first run that is crazy fast :)

    Hey Paul,

    Now that I am up and running I think I finally understand what problems you are talking about. At "home" there is definitely something that is causing a slight jitter and I am looking into it. Unfortunately I have a business trip and won't have time to look at it for a few weeks. Hopefully you have it all worked out by then so I can just use your solution. :)

    And I was running at 80%...It is very fast and smooth.

    Cheers,
    -GA Dawg

    Wiring cabinet is just about done. The white wire in the second picture is the kill switch. I gone to cover the flex conduit and XLR cables in a plastic wire loom.
