good question. I might just have a different perspective on that question because I for me right now it is a development environment, which means lots of pull, build, test, repeat cycles for instance, we're preparing a demo for Charles's reprap show this weekend, and if everything goes right we will have the right half of this video running on an Android tablet in time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6xRGh_z7fc (note key fact: the UI on the right side does _not_ run on the beaglebone; it does however talk to the beaglebone HAL - its a normal gladevcp panel) happy to hear for you machinekit is almost an appliance! really a compliment to Charles for his excellent packaging job In fact I was already wondering because we see lots of downloads of the BB image (> 1000 by now) but very few complaints - wonder where these guys are ;) > Once it is running it can be left alone on the eMMc and boot off a big > memory card for development. > Or is it a case of when you have compiled linuxcnc,it will not run > without the developer enviroment. > > I think as charles mentioned to me,What we need is a pre-built package > from linuxcnc so it can just be installed through apt etc.without all > the docs and manuals and other redundant stuff. > > I will be quite happy when i have it running right to lock it down,and > only make a new image when substantial updates come along. > > The whole reason i switched from mach3 was to get away from computers > breaking down in harsh workshop/garage enviroments every winter. very interesting angle.
