I think there is plenty of reason to care about why another control may be more popular, including commerical/industrial controls. Looking at how other controls do things and understanding why they may be more popular provides valuable information on what might be improved in LinuxCNC. With larger volumes of users come larger volumes of unique perspectives and feedback on what could be better.

This applies to all other control systems as well. Also, the only reason to promote LinuxCNC is to enhance the capabilities for our own use. It matters not if anyone else uses LinuxCNC. If we focus on LinuxCNC we will have a better tool to use. That in itself will promote LinuxCNC to others outside the LinuxCNC world far better than ANY words or arguments. Just my 2 cents. :) Stuart On Oct 22, 2014 8:00 AM, "John Alexander Stewart" <[email protected]> wrote: > > I'm always interested to see how "the younger set" build things. > > Quite often they use Mach3 - here's an example: > http://www.buildlog.net/sm_laser/drawings.html > > Charles and Co. are doing great things with Machinekit and 3D printers, > but, how do we get the "younger set" to use LinuxCNC more? > > I don't know the answers, but I keep pushing LinuxCNC in my own quiet way. > > JohnS. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7. > Monitor 10 servers for $9/Month. > Get alerted through email, SMS, voice calls or mobile push notifications. > Take corrective actions from your mobile device. > http://p.sf.net/sfu/Zoho > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comprehensive Server Monitoring with Site24x7.
