Anders, Will Shackleford went on to work for MDSI. He was there circa 2005 when I visited for training, but at that point I had not realized who he was. OpenCNC was the product that indirectly introduced me to EMC and the reason I ported the VTI driver from EMC to EMC2, as that was the board we were using with OpenCNC. I started out using OpenCNC while playing with EMC as a side project. Needless to say, in the end we went with EMC and dropped both OpenCNC and the VTI board in the process.
There really is not much commonality that I could see between the two products. I still have a copy (original CDs) of OpenCNC V6.5. Regards, Eric While browsing the interwebs I came across this new paper "Performance analysis of cross-coupled controllers for CNC machines based upon precise real-time contour error measurement" http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890695511001659 or http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2011.08.015 It uses MDSI:s OpenCNC controller. Does anyone know if there is any common history of the EMC-project and MDSI's "open architecture" OpenCNC ?
