I think we perhaps need to take a step back before this turns into a series of
unworkable positions.
The 3D printers with Arduino based controllers work because they are dedicated
to what they do. For the same reason my ELS project using only an 8 bit PIC
controller is very good at what it
No, RT patches are not a waste of time. But using something as big as a
Linux based PC to drive a machine is not going to be popular today and
will be even less so in 10 years. 40 years ago the PC is the only
affordable computer that had enough compute power. This is not longer
true. we now
I kinda want to help with development for free, I'm just lost on where to
start in the millions of lines of code

The problem that is limiting LCNC's wider use
My first experience with NC/CNC was in 1978 on a 1958 Cleereman VMC with a
GE Mark Century 100 control. That makes the technology over 61 years old.
The control enclosure sitting beside the machine was 6 X 6 X 5 feet. The
cooling unit was a LARGE household AC window unit. There were 100's of 4 X

I agree that an iPad or tablet appears to be an excellent user interface.
The motion controlling portion is the only portion of the code that needs
to be synchronised.
Real-time operating systems can be used or the playback approach
are alternatives.
The advantage this group has is assisting
Hmm.. so the realtime patches being integrated into Linux kernel is
worthless old technology? They are waisting their time? (This is
unrelated to LinuxCNC)
Currently LinuxCNC is being added to debian testing. It will soon be part
of the debian repository.

The problem that is limiting LCNC's wider use is that it is a very old
design. It is definitely not what anyone would design today. And it is
not what moderned users expect or want. Documentation i=will not change
what it is.
Today, if this were being built again from scratch it would

That's great information!
Is there a tabulation of data such as your HAL scope results comparing the
merits of commonly used CNC control programs.

Yes, I definitely think the more ‘Plug & Playable’ LCNC options there are the
more it will be adopted and the more the community will develop and be
supported as some PnP users get more interested/confident and delve deeper
into LCNC.
My own LCNC journey started from zero. Not knowing what a

There are some case studies in the Wiki. However these are probably rather out
of date and are probably not at the level you envisage.

Not that patient it turns out. Four hours later I tested the two gears and the
only discouraging observation is how easily the excess epoxy scratched off the
nylon gear surface. No worries about surplus epoxy clogging up the teeth. Not
sure how well it will hold.
Put it all back together.
