Yes, I agree. I only hope I continue doing steps forward instead of continuously stumbling. I know experience comes from doing. > Let me set expectations a bit: I have been using Linux on and off for the past 6 years, dabbling with installing (read starting with typing the commands from the installation instructions) programs and as frequently as I had success I had failures (giving up). The biggest frustration for me always is the error message of a missing library, and after getting that library the 3 more libraries that the first one needs etc. etc. When using cutting edge technology you sometimes will bleed :) > joints_axes4 is a development branch.

I’d like to help and get LinuxCNC working with my and other Delta type printers. FWIW I'm selling delta type printers (opiliones.nl) with an Arduino board, and in the near future also without electronics (up to and including the stepper motors, effector with extruder and hot end). Due to the size of the printer bed I am now at the limit of the hardware capabilities. Furthermore I am convinced LinuxCNC can benefit us because we can use our other types of production also (milling, etc). so Yes, I’d like to help developing, but since I have to juggle my time between my business, family and personal (as well as professional) interests like linuxCNC, electronics etc. and I want it to be as efficient as can be. Meaning I’d like to have (some sort of) a plan or guideline. So going in that direction means I’ll have to start learning and knowing the way to develop/hack/share the work so it is not for naught. If there are any (let’s call them) guidelines on developping/testing with linuxCNC and especially _the_ branch which will benefit from my effort I’m all in. I’m relatively fresh so I can make a quick list of some questions I will have. I know I don't have the same experience as a lot of you guys and that means that running thru the source will not always get me there and a nudge in the right direction would just save a lot of time and unneeded disappointment. BTW, So far I really appreciate the time, patience and support from all of you.
