Hey guys, sorry for the long delay, but I focused on some new projects, they were machine related for this machine and others and will hopefully add some value to the cnc community! I will just toss these out here for some teasers, it is very close to being tested on the machine, currently we are finishing up doing testing in simulation mode to find bugs and things we missed or that need to be added. hopefully it makes things easier to use on the machine, I certainly now am very happy that i stayed with Linuxcnc as this project has made the learning experience high but well worthwhile and I now feel extremely comfortable with it and have the ability to add the things i want both in the interface I designed with the help of Hazzy and Turboss from the Linuxcnc forum and with the control side. it really is a great feeling to know I am not locked into a control that requires an act of congress to add something too and this one can be changed and adjusted to suit my style and needs! Hope you enjoy!
