im stuck between centroid acorn & centroid 12 and mesa 7i98 & linuxcnc for control. the biggest sticking point for me is driving the turret.
i know from reading up on linuxcnc that i could (with some difficulty) write a custom hal component to drive the turret. really not sure what centroid requires. suppose its a macro akin to mach3?
think i would prefer centroid for its conversational aspect. otherwise i wouldn't consider it
anyway.... here is the point of contention
