Check out Dynomotion as a supported alternative.
There is a forum for it here also.

A great idea and some good staring points.
It seems the inventor(s) over-promised some features and severely underestimated the world of motion control.

While I was an early "I'm not believing this guy" I do think that they had a good starting point.
Maybe not enough experience in bringing a product to market and the huge costs you run into.
IMO this product was way under priced and some of the things they tried to tackle right out of the box where very difficult, if not impossible, to deliver.

I think Bruce found it easier to make money elsewhere.
This must hurt him very deeply and one has to have been there to know what it feels like to abandoned your "baby".

I quit posting here as many did not want to hear my negative comments.

My heart goes out to Bruce, as at least for me the depression that follows one of these failures is a killer of your soul.

I do hope he finds a way to bring this back to life in some form.

Is this forum by others who have lost their money?
Just a promise, not a product.
Not good work, Bruce!

jangtse,

I suggest you try to design an innovative product of your own and we'll see how you do. I'll applaud if you succeed do well. I won't criticize you if you fail because I know how hard it is to try with all your might and still come up short.

Some succeed and some fail but I honor people who have the courage to try doing something very hard.

Bruce's mistake was accepting orders before his work proved itself to be successful. He gambled his idea would work, it burned people when it didn't.

Innovative people always gamble; it's their faith in an idea that keeps them going. It makes them take risks putting their time and effort into making an idea real; they want to move what's in their mind into something that can be touched. Something that's real and works the way the idea said it would. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

I gamble all the time but it's never in Las Vegas. I never gamble with other people's money because my company is successful enough to support such a non-productive individual as myself. My latest gamble is the G215; I think it may be everything the CNC Brain tried to be.

We'll see.

It looks like the Dynomotion alternative is all that the Brain tried to be, at half the price.
