I haven't been on this forum in awhile... I got started in LinuxCNC awhile back... so I was hitting that forum pretty hard getting up-to-speed. I love Linuxcnc... but getting started is like learning Chinese via a Spanish interpreter when you speak German. You can do quite a bit with the pyVCP creating new panels and controls. Glade is good too... although I've been tinkering for a month with that and have yet to create a panel that actually does anything. But pyVCP... it's not really that bad... just takes some getting used to.

I'm putting what I'm learning on my web page Askjerry... Everyone else does. so at least others can learn from my mistakes, etc.

Getting back to why the moderators here might make a push to look at the LinuxCNC forum... because you are likely to find an answer there first... and if not, at least it doubles your chances. I come here because there are topics about hardware and such that may or may not be used or incorporated (yet) with LinuxCNC... so it broadens my ability to learn new stuff.

I hope you find what you are looking for... I'll follow the thread and if I find anything I'll assist.
