I thought I would give this controller ago again.
Haven't had time this week to even look at the machine or the software. But I'm thinking its time to bite the bullet and change the controllerI mean - look at this. This is a new Linux lathe interface ('probe basic'). Who wouldn't want this?
I think the lathe GUI is still in development, but... wow. Free.

Yer, it's not a bad little machine that's why I jumped on it. But at the moment I have decided to put the kipware software to the side and concentrate on fitting the new controller. I started thinking, getting the software to work with this controller was harder than doing the install.That's pretty swank. It looks like it was made for that GSK controller you've got.
I haven't had time to fiddle with Kipware in quite some time. Working out the bugs on a custom F360 post I'm having written. Live tool C-axis control is not dirt simple for a lathe novice...
