The trouble with this concept is the multitude of different machines and and variants of those machines that require a specific setup to be "turn key" controllers. This is where Mach3 comes into its own, as a generic controller that can be setup to suit the machine used. Mach3 has a file called mach3mill.xml, mach3turn.xml, ect, that contains the setup of the machine so you can transfer this file to another computer and your precious machine configuration can be restored.
A register of these .xml files would be a good idea with the specific machine and variant listed so that a newcomer to the cnc world could download this .xml file and get up and running.
But to most, is this defeating the object when you build your own cnc machine, the learning process, the skillset that you gain that only comes with a full on initial setup of mach3. I prefer the knowlege gained having to setup mach3, but then i wouldn't go to the trouble of building a cnc machine.
So a section in the forum with these .xml files would be nice, wink, wink.
