I have been a board member since 2005. Since the last election I have done a lot of work for the upcoming EMC 2.3. The most important new features I've written recently are a new cutter diameter compensation algorithm that handles inside corners, 5 axis tool length offset support, on-the-fly maximum velocity control for safe dry runs, and spindle-at-speed handling so motion can wait at the appropriate times for slowly accelerating/decelerating spindles. I have also written many smaller new features, fixed many bugs, and helped many people on the irc channel and mailing lists. I continue to maintain the linuxcnc CVS server and do other organizational work as a board member. I am using EMC2 on three of my personal machines, including one full size chucker lathe. I look forward to continuing this work, and to the 2.3 series of releases. |
