I'm just seeing this now (11Aug2012) as I actually don't read the list with any rigor or regularity (I know, that's bad). No one at the CNC Workshop asked me about this, but I was at the presentation given by Wally Lacanlale. Here are the facts as I know them: 1. Eztrol is a custom GUI for linuxcnc/emc written using QT4. 2. I don't do any work on it, so I didn't keep any of the source I had at one time. Plus there has been an almost complete rewrite since I last saw the source code. 3. You can probably get a copy of the source by writing the author at: mailto://[email protected] I know Wally is interested in talking with prospective co-developers, so if you are interested, don't hesitate to write him. He's a nice guy and some of you may have met him out at Roland's place one year. 4. Quite a bit of .ini file stuff is required to make it run, examples of which can be found in linuxcnc/configs/smithy.
