Hi,
I am getting to the stage where I need to start thinking about which software to start running. I have decided not to go with Mach3 but to either go for usbcnc or EMC2 for the machine control.
I am a linux user, so am not concerned with linux side of things but would like to know if I start using EMC2 I won't be missing much from the propriety tools.
On the other side, I like the fact that usb is the interface to the drivers rather than parallel port - but unfortunately the software is only windows. If usbcnc is really that good then I don't mind having a dedicated windows machine just for my cnc (i really do not have any other windows machines - even dual boots!)
Cheers
ice.
