Are you talking turbocnc? The $60 is for access to the source code. It runs just fine if you don't pay.
That being said.. I started using turbocnc (and it has not been updated since I stopped using quite a few years ago. It is a pretty basic controller - Even the first Emc blew it out of the water IMHO. It isn't as configurable and it also doesn't have any path blending ability. It was a good learning experience but I would never ever go back. (plus it will only do step/dir) The only thing turbocnc has going for it is that it will run on 486 class machines. (Not worth it again imho.) sam On 3/8/2012 8:56 AM, charles green wrote: > that is certain to require a fresh clock battery and some floppy drive > cleaning. and $60? does shareware run without registration fees? > > > --- On Thu, 3/8/12, Mark Wendt<mark.we...@nrl.navy.mil> wrote: > >> From: Mark Wendt<mark.we...@nrl.navy.mil> >> Subject: Re: [Emc-users] EMC2/Ubuntu updates - safe to install? >> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)"<emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> >> Date: Thursday, March 8, 2012, 6:01 AM >> On 03/08/2012 08:55 AM, charles green >> wrote: >>>> It's true if all you want is a machine controller >> and >>>> nothing else. >>>> >>> so, again, strictly in the capacity of a machine >> controller, turbo cnc vs linuxcnc, the comparison and >> contrast results are what? have you a basis for >> comparison? do not limit your scrutiny of the finest >> details. >>> >> Again, who cares?
