Cutmore,
The CNC Brain was released on evening Monday (June 16th) .. and we started recieving orders two hours later. So soon, there should a lot of feedback!
Remember, it is a Beta (the hardaware won't change, just the software/firmware). And to be very open, it hasn't been tested on every kind of equipment (duh
). So over the next month or so, I'm sure it will be "The Great Bug Hunt".
The comforting part is that since the Brain is really 3 layers (GUI, SDK, Hardware ... even the layers are divided into functional layers), finding a bug and fixing it is a lot easier than trying to fix a large monolithic program. There is less of the "fix this, broke that" scenario.
Plus, the bulk of the bugs will probably be in the user interface which is the easiest to fix (and the GUI source code is open so if someone has
VB experience, they can debug it themselves ... many eyes make problems small).
Great question!
s/Bruce

I would be interested in hearing how the set-up & tuning went.
Thanks for any info,
