This looks like a CAM package for Linux.I would guess it posts out G-code? Looks promising. They shouldnt call it conversational. Much like the stepper vs servo debate there is the same a conversational vs G-code in the world of CNC machinists. Conversational was made to sell machines to owners of machine shops with the sales pitch of "anyone can program this control"They think cheap labor, get rid of all those G-code guys.When the cheap labor proves that machining is more than writing programs by ruining parts and tooling,us G-code guys have to make those conversational machines run. I am a G-code bigot.Does it show? Your subject line sent chills up my spine. Conversational is for girls.
