I finally did it.. I installed mach3 on an xp machine and setup a machine. I setup linuxcnc and mach with all 3 axis set to 500ipm and 30 in/sec/sec. First I ran the tort.ngc in both systems. (this is a torture test program that was used to make sure linuxcnc planner was behaving) Mach3 and linu

I strongly wish to see at least a notice of copyright and terms in each new file, not least because it is the advice of the FSF given in the GPL itself. It avoids doubt about the status of each specific file, and the only costs identified so far are the author's time to insert the notice and a few

It happens often after I stop machine when milling - it goes nicely to some point at some feedrate and stops. Bad thing is that it goes in X, Y and Z coordinates to some point, not necessary higher. Maybe this point is related to start point of g-code. I use dev master branch with custom remapp
