Sorry to hear you didn't get it working. But hey, I think you forget one thing. This isn't a product you can pay for and get gold support 24/7. That's the world of free things, not only an EMC-problem. I agree that the documentation is sometimes very thin, I for sure would like to see more examples or different setups (howto setup a closed loop is one for sure) and I try to add up when I can. That is _also_ a part of the world of free things - you have to give to get. And sometimes I see questions hanging in the air on the mailing-list, I agree a little bit on that one too. But just a little. I've been working with Linux since the second release of Yggdrasil (the _last_ release was in -95...) and I see this frustration coming back over and over again in different mailing lists and forums. No, Linux is not as M$ so that for sure makes a lot of people uncomfortable. On the other hand it's very look a like the other U*x's like Solaris, HP-Ux and so on - which at least I used when I was working with 3D-modelling. Unfortunately, Linux is not as plug and play as M$, but on the other hand it's extremely dynamic and way more powerful. I have a single chipset on a bread board at home running Linux, and at work I have a 32 CPU cluster running the same kernel. It takes time to learn to drive an aircraft, it takes even more time to drive it upside down (trust me on that one). It's still an aircraft, but used in a different way. Linux is easy to use when it comes to using it, but setting up an EMC machine is not just easy. I honestly believe that EMC is not the way to go all the time if you're not willing to pay someone to set things up or give support. That is what you do with Mach, you can get support - after the bill. If you go for Fanuc, Siemens, Heidenhain or any other dragon you'll pay and then pay again for support, and then you can pay for consultancy. It's not easy, there can always be more documentation and a lot more people eager to answer questions. Unfortunately we all live in the same world and need to take care of feeding, family, the house and then read mailing lists. For myself I also put surfing in somewhere in the middle which makes the reading even more tiny... ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
