Why even try to get people to switch their currently working Arduinos to Linuxcnc? You'll find that most of the strong opinions on this matter come from those already selling the hardware and software kits to the open developers. FDM/GGG has limited applications in additive manufacturing since

Hi guys, Floating point is moot, if you use fixed point in machine coordinates and add a 2^x bits to that, and you can do a lot of things on simple hardware :-D Linuxcnc flaunts a lot of hardware, but I think a microcontroller can beat it any day, I did 14.7 ns jitter on one once :-D ... go fi

A lot of industrial "open" standards are like that.. Send us $495 and we will give you the open standards/interface specifications/protocol/sample source code, etc. So "Open" does not necessarily mean free. I wonder how they came up with $32 ? That seems like an odd amount. Dave On 7/2/201
