I respectfully place this view . My point is that not all people are programmers or capable of scripting or re-compiling , and what is now a resonable standard G Code , should be supported as such and part of the mainstream build i have come across many people thinking to use Linuxcnc , and because it does not conform to their resonable standards out the box , in comparison to x product they wont use it , due to machine down time and perhaps the learning curve are other matters , but every controller on the planet just about has canned cycles G71 as standard , so no learning curve ! . which is perhaps one point why it keeps popping up on the lists and forums .. the easier we make it to do the majority out the box the better . we should support standards and leave scripting for the newer wizards .. With all the changes Micheal and others are doing are for the best , yes i agree , but missing out the basics .. should not be taken lightly , everyone is thinking as a programmer .. or coder ... not as a user or poor apprentice been given the task to program a machine . what can be easy for us to use , can be a nightmare of major proportions for others . or are we displaying it to wider user the wrong way . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
