Tx/Rx here, We are definitely still go for the Fest. Since the last announcement, we've added a 5x10 plasma table (running the JA3 branch), finished converting our Chinese 4x8 router to LCNC, made progress on the Burgmaster Powerhawk retrofit (one axis is moving), acquired an 88 ton 8' CNC press brake and 4x4 water-jet with dead controls (for LCNC conversion), and I put a water-cooled spindle on my little 2x2 router (next step is controlling the VFD over RS485).
We have also been considering running a class/workshop on basic LCNC CNC machine building and configuration. We already run a class on basic LCNC usage (Gcode, touching off, opening programs, MDI, etc.), but have received requests to have a class on how to set up and configure LCNC. We plan to design and produce a super simple kit for the students to build (CNC cut plywood, drawer slides, NEMA 23 steppers, TB6560 3-axis board) that they keep at the end of the class. Yeah, we're pretty stoked about October. -Chris Kelley -Shop Manager -Tx/Rx Labs On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 12:05 PM, Mark Johnsen <[email protected]> wrote: > I haven't heard much about the LinuxCNC fest in Houston planned > for Saturday, October 18 to Saturday, October 24 since the topic was > originally brought up. > > I have some frequent flyer miles that need to be burned:-) and wanted to > make sure I don't show up and the sign on the door says "closed."
