Heh - I didn't read all the "comments". This thread seems like a "few" others.
Made me think "Peter Paul Almond Joy has nuts - Peter Paul Mound don't" I don't care much for Mounds or Almond Joy but I sure LOVED Peter Paul Almond Clusters! They haven't made Almond Clusters for decades. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ "*Intuitive*" is such a magic word. Every control interface becomes "intuitive" after running it for a while. Then the next control interface isn't "intuitive" - YET. The machine maintenance/service manuals are not intuitive to start reading. Once you learn Jinglish (Japanese English or any other ?lish combination) then the intuition is realized. I put (ca 1997) OpenCNC on three five axis mills before 'finding' EMC2. When I left MPM in 2013 one mill was still controlled by OpenCNC. The operators liked the control as well as the Haas/Cinci/Fanuc/Fadal controls on machines in the shop. OpenCNC had to develop an EXACT match interface for machine controls in one of the big three in Detroit. They did and the operators had no clue they were running OpenCNC. THE most intuitive control I ever ran was the Moog control on a Moog mill. That may have been influenced by my previous experience though. A "FANUC" interface choice might be something people would look at to begin the journey into LinuxCNC. I talked to a man just yesterday about machines and controls. When I mentioned LinuxCNC his eyes glazed over and his voice dropped into a sarcastic tone. I just let it pass and went on. I have known him since 1991. He has just rented a building and wanted me to see his shop. If it isn't Fanuc/Siemens/et al then it is not worth exploring. His focus is custom projects. HE HAS NO CLUE what is available. I will try to show him but will not try to beat it into him. Better documentation will help. Copious examples will help. Complete software will help. Lots to do. thanks Stuart _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
