Bertho, Have you considered doing a YouTube video that shows how gcmc is used? If you include CNC and Gcode in the title, I think you will get a lot of exposure. For example, take a look at the following video. He already has 5600+ views since Nov. 6th 2014.

I've had a couple of installations where filters were required and in both cases the problem was that the drives (servo drives recently, VFDs previously) were pumping noise back into the AC line which got into the other power supplies and or radiated onto the low voltage circuits and caused
