Hi OK, sorry I posted that. I saw pretty pictures and did'nt read the specs. And I most often cringe when I see reply to my posts!!!
But, (here we go a gain;-) , I think there's a main philosophy difference with the guys who want an embedded controller. On the one hand, it's like the EMC crowd is primarily a Linux group, and the CNC part is integrated into their PC. As such, ever faster hardware is advocated (I concede, not needed) for EMC. The other group are building a CNC machine and need a controller, and may not be Linux users. As for two machines, well, most people already have one. They're using it right now, to post. The CNC part is a seperate part; what they're building. I for one, battle with the advocation(latency) "While the test is running, you should "abuse" the computer. Move windows around on the screen. Surf the web. Copy some large files..." I think to myself, but hey, this is my machine controller, I'd want to remove all that stuff for better speed. If I want to surf the net, I'll go sit in the office(or home) A converse scenario is to imagine a machine operator standing at the console in front of his Haas, and he's busy googling global warming. Anyway, as expected with open source project, people pull in all different directions.
