I'm certainly impressed. Probably all over my head and I will end up just buying a unit instead of making it.

I was going to write the code for my CNC. I took a look at MACH3 for $150.00 it would take me YEARS to program all the functions that MACH3 has. Even though I don't have the money, it would be foolish for me to take on such a huge project. I know that there other programs for <$$ still looking. Still waiting for parts.

Keith check out Ubuntu EMC2. I use it and am very happy with how it works. It is a free download of Ubuntu Linux with the EMC2 already compiled. All you have to do is configure it for your motors and controllers. The download site is at
LinuxCNC.org - Download information
An EMC support forum is here LinuxCNC.org - Download information

I'll have a video up soon showing the EMC2 at work Keith. As soon as Youtube finishes processing I will post it.Originally Posted by KHK

I loaded EMC2 on a computer. WOW Lynix has gone a long way. I have not messed with it for about 10 years. They say that a built in video card will not work properly and that nVIDIA won't work either. They state that they will work but in real time they will become speratic. I will not use in real time for quite a while, so I can play with the software to see what it does.

Let me know if you need any help Keith. I have been using it on my CNC for nearly 2 years now.

Gadget, What did you do to shield the keyboard and mouse from RF?
I made the x rails this week and made a shelf for the computer. Pictures to follow.

Keith,
The keyboard and mouse are on a metal shelf with aluminum screen over it for shielding. I just slide my hands under the screen to type or move the mouse. No hinge, just the flex of the screen allows access.
I bought some braided shield wire to cover all lead wires. A romex type connector makes connecting them to the case easy.
