I was mostly posting this link because of the documentation style is amusing, to me at least. It has been a very long time since documentation made me laugh for a good reason. Some of the "Chinglish" manuals were pretty funny, but are harder to find these days. As far as these Arduinoesque CNC controllers go, I think they have a long way to go before they are practical for any real CNC, but these projects seem to have momentum and may be where the fresh ideas come from. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF email is sponsosred by: Try Windows Azure free for 90 days Click Here http://p.sf.net/sfu/sfd2d-msazure _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
