Re: Returning to MACH3/4 from LinuxCNC
A few points of clarification:
Again, I have no personal knowledge of FANUC products but I find it very hard to believe that there are no unsquashed bugs even after years of usage. I’m curious

Re: Returning to MACH3/4 from LinuxCNC
I have no experience with Fanuc 21 controllers but I’ve never encountered any bug free software after over fifty years of computer usage. Congratulations!

Re: Returning to MACH3/4 from LinuxCNC
John Stevenson and I did look at Pathpilot when it first came out. At the same time we obtained a couple of stand alone panel mounted clone Fanuc 21 style lathe controllers. It took me little longer

Re: Returning to MACH3/4 from LinuxCNC

I too had run EMC for a while but I ran into a problem with one of the inputs/outputs that was opposite of what a G540 could use. I went on the EMC forum and posted my problem. I mentioned that it

Anyone on this group who tried LinuxCNC for a while and then returned to using MACHx? If so, could you list the reasons why?
Thanks
