Hi Michael, This is probably the wrong place to mention this, but... It would be great if at some point LinuxCNC (LCNC?) could also accept (in g-code) N-numbers ranging from (at least) N0 (N.000) to N.999. This would allow Autocon/Dynapath control users to load their existing g-code into

I noticed that printing from ClassicLadder seems to be absent in master (I didn't check v2.5_branch). Is this to be a permanent feature? Certainly there are issues with printing from CL that need fixing, but what is the long-term plan here, or what have I missed? Printing can be very important

[Emc-developers] hostmot2-firmware-all .deb doesn't install firmware?

The CUI sensors use the kit (frameless) mounting method. This mounting method lets you save money when your motor (or something) has a nice shaft sticking out the back, and a flat place to mount things. If you're ever looking for a kit (frameless) encoder, I have had good luck with
