Well, I haven't been monitoring the list lately, but came in to find this buried in a few weeks of old emails this morning. Some answers: Yes - the Tormach lathe is running LCNC for the motion control and interpreter. I hope we don't seem secretive about this - during the meeting in Wichita we shared our plans to do a lathe GUI with everyone there, and anyone reading this list regularly will remember some questions I've asked, bugs with patches I've submitted, and features whose patches have been rejected :). The GUI is Pygtk/Glade. We looked at gladevcp for a while but back when we started it didn't have enough of what we wanted. The interface is fairly specific to our machine, and I think it would be chore to generalize it. It requires several dependencies and patches to LCNC source, some of which were considered by the the linuxcnc developers and rejected (e.g. Redis), others of which we suspected would be rejected and therefore didn't bother to submit. Given that it's currently only useful on our machine, and that a lot of its features (Fanuc tool change, Redis, etc) were considered and dismissed by the community, we gave up on trying to get our patches accepted into the LCNC repo. You may see more of this code in MachineKit, which, under the C4 contract, has a lower barrier for entry for contributions.
