Way back in the early days of EMC2 the first OEM to pick it up was Sherline.
Next came Smithy tools. Then nothing new for years until EMC2 morphed into
LinuxCNC by force and matured both in features and hardware support to the
point that the next OEM to pick up LinuxCNC was Tormach with there
I have this "working" in many ways. The dial basically works, the HAL for the
buttons work. The Axis Select knob selects the axis.
But the .ini "options" don't work, specifically the filters, the Z-direction
(decrement=up??), and the accel variables.
I'm so confused, I see 5 key user
So is there any way to signal from the .ngc back to the HAL? I did resolve the
issue with G38.2 Z-target being work coords not machine, and got a nice
effective probing cycle going, just no deadmanning.
I am not "into" GUIs yet. I have whatever stock LinuxCNC panel it came with.

No offense but Mach3 is pretty straightforward to set up, mostly. The basic
stuff.
Installing Linux and LinuxCNC is not really turnkey tech, not even close. Then
once you go to a Mesa card, the stepconfig wizard isn't an option, and figuring
out how to do it from scratch is FANTASTICALLY
Agree that LinuxCNC is fantastic.
What gets me is the number of Mach3 users - why don't they switch? Is it
that they are (essentially) computer illiterate, and know only Windows
(barely), or is it just momentum in the home hobbyist field??
(I'm lucky in that I was "into" wire-wrapping computers
I started in Mach3, thought LinuxCNC was a bit beta (was like 2005). Invested
a tremendous amount of time in it.
Since then I've initially been excited for Mach3 Smoothstepper motion
controllers, then disillusioned when I found how irreparably buggy it was with
Mach3, and found the XHC mpg

Oh, they have the share data if you click the link for the
whole survey. VERY impressive numbers for LinuxCNC!

WOW! I'd really love to see how many responses they got for
each of these!

I finally came up with a pretty small increment that is more the moving
