Or if this can be legally done ? The cost is zero to use, zero to change. It cannot be closed to your customers in the sense that they can get the source and the tools to build it. But you can probably invalidate the warranty on the hardware if they do things that will break the hardware. > 2) If I can continue to use, as I am now, controlling the servo drives > directly from the parallel port ? Yes, you can control servo drives from the parallel port. > 3) If the tool tip radius compensation is implemented and working on EMC > (lathe mode XZ plane)? I'm not sure, but I believe it is. > 4) If some tool table is implemented and working ? I believe yes. > > Thank you for your time. Be sure to check out the emc group on IRC.
