well.. I know a lot of us have strong feelings for linuxcnc. For me it is seeing what it can actually do..
As (I think) Les had said. you can run the smallest desktop machine all the way up to a machining center with pallets and tool changer. This is what really sold me. We have the K&T with analog servos, 60 tool chain and changer, pallets and all sorts of do-dads. I bought 2 mesa cards + analog interface cards. This gave me 90+ i/o and 10 analog/encoder counters. Everything is controlled within linuxcnc - between the integrated ladder and hal. tool changes, spindle gear changes, pallet changes.. All done within linuxcnc and all realtime.. No external plc's or anything. sam On Tue, Feb 18, 2020 at 11:15 AM John Dammeyer <jo...@autoartisans.com> wrote: > > I'm sorry, this is degenerating into a useless argument and I'm gonna > > take a step back and leave you to it. > > > > Les > > > Thank you.
