We're thinking about again organising this years LinuxCNC get together in
Germany.

Check out last year's meeting page

 to see what went on

.

Here is the doodle link to find the "right" weekend

I was looking for a way to make it even more interesting for everybody
coming
and maybe advance the 6-axis robot side of LinuxCNC.

So I got this idea to buy these old ABB robots

from the local scrap machine dealer
to convert and give away at cost for anybody who wants one.

Anyhow Andreas was convinced and just went ahead and bought all three of
them
(~250€ per robot).

Now we still need to find some cheap drivers so I can order a bunch and we
have a lot to play this year ;-)

The only thing I did regarding LinuxCNC within the last months was to setup
a machine with LinuxCNC sources + rl + Eclipse and the configs to get
everything to build nicely (cmake was a real bit** I have to say) and I
could be working sometime soon on some rl integration (to get rid of the
"singularity lockup" problem).


Anyhow let me know what you think - what you would want to get done - if
you want to come and so on.
