@Zeddymac We can take this off line. In short “you da man” @Gero I appreciate your bring up the security issues of cameras. It’s a good point. Thank you ---

Is the camera IP based for monitoring the Maslow while cutting? If so, what about an internet-based STOP button wired into Ground Control? I think the guys over on the X-Carve forum (Inventables) have developed something like that. ---

There was a request for how to remotely monitor the Maslow. As in it’s in the garage and I’m in the living room. I’m strongly against that but the request did not include my feeling on the subject. I am usually in 2 steps of the Maslow if it is operating. That said I’m remote to a Pi 3 ft way and can open an app to see the camera and hit the stop button in GC. Using a messaging system, IE sending a stop command via a camera feed seems unlikely to be as reliable and adds complexity. Also as stated in the security concerns it means someone could possibly interrupt you work unintentionally or intentionally if they can get control of your camera. My reason for having a cam is in the future I may blog how to videos as well. Just my thoughts Thank you ---

> [@MidnightMaker](#): > > camera IP based for monitoring the Maslow while cutting Only my personal view, gained by the experience frying a motor shield and by seeing a picture of a sled torn apart, feeling the powers of the motors close rage by vibes in the bone marrow, I strongly suggest not to leave a Maslow untended. Only my personal view. ---

I like to grab things that people have posted and tuck them into the wiki. I almost added this camera without really thinking about it, but I too think it’s not a good idea to promote unattended use. I’m sure there are legitimate uses for a camera, but I don’t want to feel (or be legally) responsible if someone does something regrettable. ---

Every single word in every page they can follow a link to. One reason not to post your email address, phone, or other personal info. Most forum spam these days is done by a real person, from a low wage country, thanks to Captcha and similar. The favorite IT outsourcing places also have big spam for hire operations. There’s exceptions, of course, I’ve dealt with spam from Denver to Amsterdam to Bangalore. VPNs are popular to hide the originator and hamper IP blocking (you can block the VPN port IPs…) although they haven’t been a big problems in the places I hung out in. The spammers are just as smart and industrious as the anti-spammers ---

It’s hard to find good beeswax. A lot of what’s sold on the big A is smoky off smelling mystery source/ingredient stuff. Sign me up if you offer a reliable food safe product. Should have stocked up locally, our neighborhood beekeeper moved to organic high Omega 3 eggs a few years ago; wonder if the recent big Omega 3s don’t really do anything study will impact her? ---

I agree, never leave a CNC device unattended. Too many potential fire sources and potentially lose of control sharp objects. It only takes one fire or wildly flailing power tool to ruin a lot more than your day. If it’s, say, one chance in a thousand is that worth the risk of coming home to firetrucks? Or even a routed groove across the floor or on the wall? Also possible your insurance company will say too bad afterwards. In these over-lawyered days Bar (IANAL) should consider a dangerous device disclaimer ---
