Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Added: 2a3,6
EMC2 is software that runs on Linux, on most standard PCs, that can interpret G-code and run a CNC machine. It was originally developed on a milling machine, but support was added for lathes and many other types of machine. It can be used with mills, lathes, plasma cutters, routers, robots, and so on.

EMC2 vs EMC1





Changed: 13c17
The interface to the control hardware has been greatly reorganized and simplified by the introduction of a Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL). [Hal_Introduction.pdf] is a document describing the HAL. Documentation of concepts and code are being given much greater attention so that new developers can "come on-line" with much less effort. A developer oriented document called [EMC2_Code_Notes.pdf] has been started, but much more documenting needs to be done.
