Perl/Tk for Windows
I thought I'd try to get Perl/Tk going on my Win95 machine and run a simple "Hello World" script just to see what was involved. I searched around a bit and found this

Re: Conversational programming in Perl for EMC
Guys, I am all for porting this puppy over to my fav. OS LINUX. However, I am concerned that if people have to purchase new controllers, expensive ones at that, we may slow down the "market"

Re: Conversational programming in Perl for EMC
Thanks Fred and Matt for the fast action on this. I will admit that I know a lot more about Perl than tcl, so Im biased to think I can do a better job with Perl. I Perl for Windows is just as

Re: CPNC Programming Resources
Ron Ginger expressed some doubts about the suitability of Tcl for an EMC GUI, mainly about its ability to support his foundation data structs: object orientation, modules, and variable namespace. In

Re: Laptops for CNC
Maxnc( pro deluxe), cncpro and DeskNC all use single ports. Pin 2 x step, Pin 3 X Dir etc.

Look at CNCPro http://www.yeagerautomation.com/ it uses one port for four axis. My setup is very different and uses a custom software for it's application. http://members.home.com/gregsdiversions My

Re: Laptops for CNC
What's your setup? Software, # axes, etc.? I think I heard MaxNC requires 2 ports for 4 axes, and I-LPT says the same.

Laptops for CNC
I remember several people mentioning they're using old laptops to control their machines. I thought most step/dir systems needed one parallel port for every two axes. What do you do for three? Or,
