[Emc-users] OT: Fanuc 0M setup

Hat just saw this. I'm currently stripping a old fanuc lathe to run linuxcnc. I found that the fanuc servo drives are too hard to with with. But to mention so old. I just buy new Chinese servo motors and drives. They are $300 usd for a 2.4kw matching drive and motor. And really high quality.

Hi All I'm looking at getting a small VMC that has a Fanuc 0M controller on it. Much to my chagrin, I found out that there is no I/O on the machine. (for fixtures, probes etc.) I was expecting a Harting plug on the side. So any functionality has to be 'enabled' and hardware added and brought
