As a Mac user LinuxCNC was cheaper. Not just the software price, but I also didn't have to buy a copy of Windows. The feature I like best, though, is HAL. I like the way that you can munge signals in any way you want, and do anything with them. My gear-hobbing setup is a good example, it was almost trivial in HAL (stepgen.cmd = encoder.position * scale ) but would have been incredibly hard to do with mechanical linkages. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
