What's needed is a CNC controller software that runs on any PC, linux, Windows, Mac with not mods to a kernel. Maybe it is written in Python or it is a web app. The something like you "teensy" that has the M4 chip handles the real time part. Until them only persistent experts will every get this to work
Ideally you just you install the CNC controller by going to Apple's "app store" and clicking "install" and that is the end of it. Or on Linux the same thing. One click and be done.
