Yes, it is the same project. You have mentioned that "The changes to do this are already included in the Machinekit project, I believe.". If this were true, it would be of great help. On Sat, Jan 16, 2016 at 5:52 AM, andy pugh wrote: > On 15 January 2016 at 19:18, Lakshman

Dear All, I'm a graduate student at NC State University. I'm working on a research project to develop a feedback based compiler for CNC machines. This compiler is proposed to accept StepNC file and directly control CNC machine via CMC. To make this possible we plan to integrate ISO14649 toolkit

CMC? compact motion controller? central message controller? C model compiler? color me confused? ( my best bet ) I found 292 acronym definitions but haven't found one that fits your message well what is CMC? the project you mention tried to convert Step to gcode. internally linuxcnc does not

I referred CMC to Canonical Machine Commands. CMC is used in NML(but I'm not sure). ISO 14649 toolkit converts StepNC file to Canonical Machine Commands. So I prefer using the toolkit. G-Code is specific to a machine. So it needs to be modified before using in a different one. But StepNC file can
