Re: dxf to gcode to Galil DMC software

Greetings,

Does this mean we now have another option other than EMC to control
servo closed loop systems? I think there is a huge group of people like
myself wanting a windows based software solution to driving servos. So
far the only option for closed loop thats cost effective is EMC. The
second problem is interfacing to a computer without the need to selling
off ones first born to pay for the interface. Galil boards are
expensive.

Jon Elson is the only guy I know that makes an interface board that
works for closed loop and is availible for a reasonable cost. Is there
a chance your software will also work with Jon's boards?

The worlds waiting for your improved "mouse trap".
