I started with Mach3, but made bad hardware decisions. I wait for years for the G100 to work with Mach3, then I switched to the smooth stepper, but that also had problems with my gantry hardware. This was over a period of 3-4 years.
Then I switched to EMC2 with 5i20 hardware. EMC2 didn't work properly with my gantry system, but 30 minutes of searching through the code, a quick fix and I was up and running. So for me, it's the opensourceness of it, being able to fix problems myself, and not wait on others. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Steinkuehler [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, 13 June 2013 9:07 PM To: EMC2-Users-List Subject: [Emc-users] Why is LinuxCNC Great? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Why do you use LinuxCNC and what are the features you like best? I am about to introduce some new users to LinuxCNC and I want to make sure I have a good list of it's strengths. I was drawn to LinuxCNC because of HAL and programmable kinematics, but I'm sure there's a lot of features I don't even know about.
