I am assuming that we are not too far from the release of v2.8. That said, my question is, has Tormach been updating PathPilot as LinuxCNC has moved forward or is it still a heavily patched and modified v2.6.x?
Or maybe I should be asking: Is there a relatively simple way to run a PathPilot GUI front end on a v2.8 LinuxCNC install? I ask this as I am considering a conversion on a benchtop lathe I keep for simple second op work because it is significantly less than the expense of getting 3phase to my CNC Turning center, and orders have rarely reached 200 qty lately. I know this is less profitable, but at the moment I have been forced to outsource work I can't do on the manual machines. Outsourcing is even less profitable and I have had to eat a few jobs. The turning center is paid off so its only costing me floor space, but eventually its going to have to pay its own rent.
