A little OT, but it seems like there is healthy interest for doing CNC
machining from OS X, with or without MacRuby, I am currently working
on an AVR/Arduino based solution myself, so anybody know of a topical
ML and/or Wiki, or is there interest in setting up a site, or project
on github/launchpad
Hi,
Has anyone seen this problem:
- Start a new Xcode project with the MacRuby document-based application
template.
- Open a number of windows.
- Close a window (leaving others open).
- Then do: NSApp.windows.map {|win| p win.windowController.document}
- This produces something like:

Hi,
Thanks for all of the replies. I was looking for a Mac based CNC program long
ago and was amazed that there still is little or none. I don't have a lot of
time in this yet, but I was able to design a nice CNC UI and basic motion
engine easily using MacRuby. There is certainly enough interes
Using a general-purpose OS (eg, Mac OS X) for real-time
applications is a bit of a tarpit. So, I like the idea
of using an Arduino (etc) for this sort of thing.
That said, there are some things that will cause problems
even in an Arduino. For example, taking raw input from a
switch or button may
Hi Rich,
Switch de-bounce logic in the Arduino would be a nice feature.
I'm thinking that probably I could offload most or all of the motion engine to
the Atmel µP. That would be desirable to to keep motors synchronized within a
half micro-step while doing linear and circular interpolation. Pro
