About (4) to how make money. 1. sell support ---is OK 2. sell hardware -- How come? Point of EMC2 is that one can buy hardware by them self generic parts and components. I did that -- all AC Servomotors, Amplifiers for AC servomotors, boards Only 2 companies for that - Servodynamics and Mesa electronics. 3. (Red Hat)-? why ? UBUNTU is there 4. Tractor Supply -- try and see . you will put money in will you get money back?
Important. About commercial CNC machine with EMC2, need to make video and put on YouTube to potential customer can see it. Do you have video on YouTube to show your success of putting EMC2 on commercial CNC machine? How controller look - monitor, key board and mouse? //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Interesting. “Most of us who make money with EMC2 do it integrating it into machines. None of my machines require anyone know a command line, EMC starts automatically. See the documentation if you want to do this too... It's not that hard.” How many commercial CNC machines and machine shops in whole country use EMC2? Any idea? Just read documentation and problem solved. ? For the “Final User”?
