They tend to be machinists, either hobby or professional. This includes me. I learned to program in C _specifically_ to add some missing features to the Hostmot2 drivers, because I wanted to drive some 3-phase servos that I had acquired. And my PhD in metallurgy is no help at all in spotting coding errors. :-) -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
