You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink... or so the saying goes!

I don't know what Ian posts anymore, because I have him on the Ignore list. But I'm sure he just posted about how great his invention was despite being told otherwise by his superiors (which in and of itself should tell you something), and that he's proficient enough in CNC and CAM despite having no experience. Maybe he invoked Edison, the Wright Brothers... Really, who cares? I think it's puppy dog syndrome - humans have a natural tendency to help their fellow man, or at least steer him away from what we think is maybe the wrong path. but if the guy doesn't want help why are we forcing it on him? It's more about wanting to be the center of attention by having in his mind the best configured system, by knowing it all, and by getting everyone to talk about him. We all got sucked into the trap. Me and G59 got out. Everyone else is swirling in the vortex.

They say insanity is repeating the same actions over again and expecting a different result. I'm glad to say I've moved beyond that. And if others do, maybe it will change one's mind...

LOL........when the Superior officer retired (the office manager) the idea I invented was adopted by the firm I worked for and I made a lot of money from it too......just to correct the record.

Apart from that, unless any further posts are on the SVM-0 thread, I'll not post any further comments.

Ian.

I would love for you to share this single invention that made you such a top class engineer

Ian.

I doubt that will stay the case

But the Windows controller that they used for the last 10 years was appropriate?
No, it was not.

They switched because Mach3 has bugs, not because it was Windows based.
Incorrect.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet.
I never do.

(I didn't read the info in the link you posted)
Please do.

I have a degree in software engineering and was programming in C on Unix machines in 1989.
I know enough about low level machine control to know that running this type of software under Windows is not a good idea.
Tormach have corrected their error. In their position I would never have made the error in the first place.

Not sure I would call getting Cnc machines in the hands of thousands of customers an error. However, adapting and updating at the proper time is just good business.
