It all depends on SUPPORT, experience can be obtained when well supported.

Before doing that, i downloaded all acailable documentation, read all of it, AND found that there was no need to be an expert to make things work..... well, that was what was written all over the manuals, BUT! not only needed some expertise also the instructions were wrong because there was deprecated configs, disfunctional drivers, and all sort of undocumented stuf. Sumarizing: The documentation could belong to something else but the board i bought even when saying it was supported, functional .etc... > My mom is able to turn Linux box on and play games or check the news > without me being around.

I started on a computer by the age of 10, and the first time i went stuck on something was when trying to make the 7i43 to work using the LinuxCNC provided documentation. Give your mom the manuals, the board and ask her to assemble and make the system to work using the documented configs prior to the ones Ted Hyde provided. > Sorry, you're wrong here. DIY also requires KNOWLEDGE. DIY is about "everyone can do it", the only needed thing is good documentation and was not the case with LinuxCNC. > As Terry suggested, I'll be glad to take that "help" back and send you a > refund > to your Nigerian account as soon as you provide it. > I didn't sent it back at the time for two reasons: 1) Ted's configs worked and seemed everything went on it's suppossed way. 2) Here in my country mail and taxes would cost more than the board itself. I ended paying more than US$ 700 when bought it, so your refund would be a bigger loss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
