thanks!! from the answers I get is that  pretty much anything from a renomated brand, that supports EPP/ECP would work. Ron On 12/3/19 9:57 PM, Jon Elson wrote: On 12/03/2019 09:19 PM, R C wrote: Hello, what would be a good PCIe card t use with linux-cnc,  would any card that does

ok,  sounds right. I (for now) want to get two paxton/patterson machines (mill and lathe) going again.  hey would need some special cabling, but figured that out a long while ago. Once i have that going again,  I want to use a better controller/driver, then the ones built in. (I can

Agree. A higher level system not necessarily real time, ordinary computer works. Tell robot to insert part using program, then iserted feed program to CNC tell it to run it, then done tell robot to remove part ... or tell operator. Have comment about server as this is according to my
