[image: image.gif] [image: image.png] Just a minute. Why do you need a VM to demo LinuxCNC? Boot the live CD. Any PC can simply boot the live image and run in simulation mode with no VM. On Tue, Sep 1, 2020 at 8:23 PM Frank Tkalcevic wrote: > I use VMWare player on Windows 10 without

I've been quite mesmerized by Sam Sokolik's videos of his synchronized spindle/X axis lathe work. It just occurred to me that this might be handy for doing four-jaw turning. You could just stick your work in the chuck approximately centered, touch off two 90 degree offset points, and have the

One nice thing you can do with a VM, you don't even need to burn an ISO of the install media. You can simply point the virtual computer's DVD at the ISO file and run the live install right from the ISO. Todd Zuercher P. Graham Dunn Inc. 630 Henry Street  Dalton, Ohio 44618 Phone:

I don't think it really matters much. Just remember that a VM is only capable of running Linuxcnc in simulation mode, because VMs are incapable of realtime. I have only used Virtualbox myself and it works fine for simulations. Todd Zuercher P. Graham Dunn Inc. 630 Henry Street  Dalton, Ohio

How about a cheap solid state sensor that detects orientation or just any movement? Store it business end up and when flipped upright it turns on fully. Put it back in its storage rack and in a couple of minutes it shuts down. Give it a large coin cell and it can run for years. The latest
