And here's a photo with the new power supply installed. I relocated the
120v connector and fuse and threw my capacitor on the 24v output. I read
somewhere that this was recommended when using switching power supplies.
Since the new
supply had 5v, I connected that up for the Xylotex as well, so now when I
power off the supply, it also completely powers down the Xylotex board so
I can unplug steppers. I was using the power steal cable before, and I had
to powerdown the computer before.
I didn't like the exposed 120v wiring, so I put some heat-shrink over all
of the 120v connectors (not present in this photo).
