Hello group/list,
So I am at home most of the time, working from home, like most of us
probably, but since I can't really do my job from home
I have been directed to look into things like "Additive Manufacturing",
g-codes etc etc...
I was just thinking (ok ok .. I am bored...) But if
I actually did sort of the same thing, added an SSR so I can
independently power
steppers and spindle. (to preserve the functionality of the
buttons/switches on a
Paxton/Patterson enclosure for a Sherline lathe and mill.)

right, that is what the situation is now, you would need encoders,
however, these encoders
now are checked by the machine (linux-cnc) as the situation is now.

That is definitely true, I think. Also, I think that RTOS is sort of a

other options. Nowadays it still has a place, although of course there
are different way more sophisticated solutions.
That pretty much works the same is
