Maybe you could jointly conceptualize a video on how to get regular LinuxCNC running with the Pocket-NC and how to perform 5-Axis machining, which IMHO may/should also adress what the big non-free software packages can do for us. And - maybe design a tool changer for it :) > I would love to see one, I have always rather liked the design. IMHO an automated tool changer is missing - something like https://shop.stepcraft-systems.com/automatic-tool-changer-kress or (preferably) much nicer. But on the more serious side - I truly hope you find an arrangement to synchronize the development with Tormach. Or some parts of the development at least. What you may want to discuss is an analogy to the Linux Software Foundation, which I sense played out rather well for Linux. Such a LinuxCNC Software Foundation (LCNCSF?) should then also fix remaining concerns that the EtherCAT people have. Could we have an online meeting a week or two after your physical one? Have fun!
