My guess is that - since it is a CNC machine now, than implementing LinuxCNC is mission totally possible. All the limit switches and other stuff is there, motors are there (as Dave mentioned, feedback device is to be checked), probably servo drives can stay (depends on the type of the control signal they accept; pwm and analog signal is piece of cake for LinuxCNC, fieldbuses are another story). It seems like only the control PC with some hardware for i/o is missing. And of course, lots of time to figure it all out. > > PS > Viesturs, thanks for your reply, I Guess you found my link who might > explain my cryptic statement about non-CNC-territory ;-) > Actually no, I did not see any link. That was just a common impression - Your country is pretty close, so I have a chance to read in newspapers about it, hear stories from people that have been there (the synth guy from our band now studies in Oulu), I have met some swedes, it is not terra-incognita, I know that it is cnc-friendly area.
