Hello guys,
I have a question regarding an output signal on the parallel port. I need
to know how I can interface an output signal on the parport with for
instance a signal on a drive for spindle.

For plasma or basic waterjet cutting I think that Sheetcam is very hard
to beat.
If you find one that is open source that works, let us know. I looked
for quite a while and in the end was happy to pay the $165 or so for
Sheetcam.
There is a Linux version of Sheetcam also so if you are doing
I think it is 150 lines of Gcode or so. When you hit the limit the
software will let you know and the output will be end at the 150 line
mark and that will be it.

The only limit is the number of lines of code. I'll send you a license
that will remove the limit for about 30 days so you can try it out properly.

Does the limit apply to the Linux version too ?

There is the linux version, but that tends to lag behind the windows version
a bit. I found that running the windows version under wine works very well.

Your reaction to EMC2 is similar to what I discovered about a year ago.
If you haven't found them, there are some very good manuals on using

It won't currently do conical or spherical pockets. The Linux version
should run under Ubuntu 10.04 32 bit but several people have had
problems. I haven't yet found out why. However the Windows version runs
quite nicely under Wine.

Hi Igor,
Sheetcam is perfect for the type of 2.5 D maching you are talking about.
