Just a note to those of you that are using EMC2 in Linux as your controller software. I have a Post Processor I created for this environment. I have modified one of the packaged processors from Dolphin for the Mill and added/changed my own set of commands.
I know that the folks at Dolphin have created an EMC2 version too but it is not included in the package. Perhaps Dolphin USA would care to share what they have as it may be better than mine.
If anyone would like to have my Mill version, just send me an PM. I'm happy to share. My particular version has G28 and M00 commands before each tool change. If you don't use homing or the tool table, then these lines may not work for you. I had to do some tweaking of the processor file so arcs would work correctly and not confuse the g-code interpreter in EMC2. I'm strictly a hobby user so don't expect this to work like some of the versions for large mills or VMCs.
