Another possible idea would be to remap the arrow keys at the X windows level.

As I understand it, there is some code that is more-or-less "real time" that resides in the kernel and handles interpreting the gcode and sending motion commands to the hardware. This code is very...

I installed my Series II 1100 in my basement with a ceiling that is a couple inches less than 8 feet without any difficulties. I don't have the power drawbar. Using my engine hoist was the closest...

From the symptoms you are describing it sounds like your controller is "going to sleep" (going into "sleep" status) rather than running continuously. Make sure that you don't have any linux or bios...

Yes, that is the "nano" editor that I am talking about. You can run it in a terminal emulator window to get more of the GUI-like capabilities, if you wish, or you can run it on a system with no GUI...

I earned a Computer Engineering degree in 1979, then learned the rest of the information largely through on-the-job activities and personal studying rather than formal course work.

Asking which programming language (or languages) is "best" for developing software ranks right up there with asking which is the "best" code editor :-) If you ask 10 programmers you will probably...

The versions of PathPilot that I have worked with use "gedit" as the the g code editor. Gedit is able to do a lot more than edit g code. Vi is also present. There may be other editors installed as...

Warning! This is a question that often starts long arguments :-) It is traditional :-)

A simple text editor that works much like notepad does in Windows is "nano".

I was able to get everything aligned to close tolerances by putting a couple of shims between the mill and the base cabinet. I don't think I lost anything by taking the 1100 apart and putting it...

I took my 1100 apart to get it through a narrow doorway. The pieces were still quite heavy, but putting it back together wasn't too hard. You do have to disconnect some wires, but Tormach's...

Have you checked the computer that is running Mach for ram errors? Your description reminds me of that cause. There is a self-contained ram test called "memtest86+" that you could run to rule out...

I have seen many examples of machining the "top" of a part. I have seen one example of machining the "sides" of a part.

For example, I would like to machine a Picantinny Rail (described on...

I believe that it is supposed to be non-rectangular. It was when I did it.
