Hi Gene,
Thanks for the feedback. I find, and maybe it's a good thing, that there
are less and less "roll your own" types out there so that's why I wonder
about the future of LinuxCNC. MachineKit died now maybe the BeagleBone
Black wasn't the best solution but it was a simple one and with the
co-processors formed a tight CNC system.
But when links to web pages for support vanish it's almost like a book
burning. You want to look it up but the book was burned last month and
there aren't any copies.

Like groups.io, where the sheldon list had moved to a couple years ago,
but its gone since Saturday. dns is still working, but nothing can be
pinged. Us old timers are like libraries, and its all lost when we fall
over the last time.
Frankly, the arms are slowly taking over here, I'm running lots of stuff
on banana-pi-m5's, doing anything an rpi4/5 can do but w/o any
interference from the foundation. Linuxcnc has never been approved by
the foundation, and a decade later my posts to the forum still go to
/dev/null. They would like to be the only hog in the arm trough, sorry
to disappoint them. I saw the announcement about the new architecture
but what the heck is it? Someday I'll put linuxcnc on armbian just to
see how it runs. If I don't miss morning roll call first.
Take care John.
Cheers, Gene Heskett, CET.
