Steve,
Interesting! Can I upgrade from 2.4.3 to 2.4.6 if I originally installed

What companies seem to want to purchase is not 'software' and
'hardware'. They want solutions.
Yes, exactly!
Unfortunately my clients tend to ask, what kind of solution they are
paying for and what am I going to implement and then it would be nice
to show

if possible, i would like a complete list of cost insensitive customers.

Looks like at least 2 problems, one is that the firmware and driver are
different versions (that firmware is fairly ancient) and the second problame
is that the config line syntax has changed (this should be fixable with man
hostmot2)

No I think its some other version issue (nml has nothin to do with hm2)
Ok, what else could it be?
Last weak I downloaded the latest-at-that-moment buildbot version.

The only thing I know of is inuxCNC 2.5.something. Is there anything else?
Thats it

I will report back about my success.
So I uninstalled the buildbot version, got the source code and in

Try use make without sudo
Thanks, You are right, there is no sudo in wiki page.
I still get some errors, so I deleted the code, will download it again

Thanks for your responses.
It seems I have to give LinuxCNC a closer look.
There is a low cost commercial alternative in MACH 3.
I guess you have an opinions on that system too?
That is pretty much provocative question :))
Here is my thoughts, why

It is working!
