Machine control software

[dazp1976]

If you do go down the linuxcnc root Themis suggest using Gmoccapy as the gui as against Axis
It’s look and feel is far nearer to a machine controller than Axis will ever be
Very logic screen layout
Support touch screen if you want it but equally fine with mouse and keyboard (either on screen or real)

I’m using linuxcnc on a boxford mill and a orac lathe. I have mach3 on a boxford bud lathe and the more I use linuxcnc the less I like mach3
Linuxcnc just works where as mach3 does funny shit every now and again
I would convert the boxford to linuxcnc but I’m using a pokeys controller board however it’s on the to do list just low down

I've had 1 glitch with Mach in 4 years.
When I transferred a file to the Mach pc into the same folder a program was running from.
That's it!

You are/ have been very lucky
Mach3 is well renowned for doing silly shit but if it works for you and you can live with all the bugs in it that will now never be fixed then carry on using it

Personally I reckon it's down to running it on a dedicated PC using the old WinXP.
I still have my retail discs from back in 2004.

I will admit, I did not get Win7 working right.

Well, you can pick my next lottery numbers because you must be the luckiest man on the forum if you have gone 4yrs without mach3's bugs biting you.

That is certainly my experience
