makes me wonder why a "cnc controller" doesn't work like a printer (yeah
sounds naive),
but 30-40 years ago it was unthinkable to print something half decent
without using ink and a hand cranked machine (stenciling).
Now you can have a color printer for next to nothing, you send the job

are VERY different from Linux. Linux boots of a disk that allows you to
run other independent apps.

Hi,
I have a design that requires a 2-axis cmm function (manually controlled) as
part of a simple CNC machine. Essentially, it’s an encoder based teaching
instrument that generates gcode, which the controller then runs.
The design also calls for the capacity to import and run gcode thus it woul

I don't think that LinuxCNC would be a good starting point for thi
