Nice, I am always amazed at the total lack of useful smartphone apps for the machining world, especially the cnc world.

Cant wait to try it out, looks great.

Hi Mike, does the wifi and video connection and all that goes with it have any impact on the MACH3 timing?

Do you have any plans for an Android version?

You would think Android would of came out first since its open source. I would pay 10-15$ for a similar android app.

I havent heard of any effect on mach timing thus far (700+ copies sold). Mach does a pretty good job of maintaining priority.

I recently learned the ins and outs of Android and may eventually build an Android variant. At this point I cant give any timelines however.

I'm almost ready to launch a new version of the app and server applet that has MUCH better support for webcams.

Basically, I've changed the mindset for webcams. All you need to do is plug the webcam into your Mach machine, select the proper device in the server applet and go. Of all the support emails I get, 99% are about webcam compatibility. This should solve a lot of those problems and make hooking up a webcam much, much, easier.

If any existing users are interested in being beta testers for the new version, shoot me an email at mmaat(at)ualberta.ca
