I'm interested in what I'm learning and would like to know what career options use this knowledge.  I see some guys mentioning that they've built cnc machines for years - I find that intriguing.  

You could see if Tormach want to take you on: tormach.com/careers

I am afraid that I can't advise on how to make a career out of LinuxCNC, every time anyone has offered me money for LinuxCNC I have refused (I already have a real job and a hobby, if I make the hobby into a job then I have no time, and no hobby)

eBay is full of CNC machines with dead controls. Whether there is a market for them in an upgraded-to-linuxcnc form I don't know. 
 

Connecting the wires "far from each other" from the same supply will do nothing.There is no electrical isolation. None whatsoever.

If the error is in English, post the English text.

Please attach a screenshot.

What version of LinuxCNC are you running?

What is your Operating System?

AXIS does the same thing; it's annoying.

Yes, in fact I have been considering this exact business. I looked for a local apprenticeship, but couldn't find anyone doing this kind of work locally. A guy on youtube has some great videos. It fits my interests and skills - I wonder how I could find my chances of getting customers. While I do not have a large truck, I can certainly factor that into the costs. If anyone here is involved in this kind of business please let me know the pros and cons.
Thank you langdons

The truck was just an example.

I just meant like use what you have.

If you have a vehicle that can transport large glass panes, that could be useful for a glass engraving business.

If you have a drill press, that could be useful to machine steel.

If you go to a scrap yard and happen to see an old CNC machnefor sale that might be repairable, that machine could become the foundation of your operation.

Use what's available.

(But don't reuse nails, that's just a waste of everyone's time)

And never underestimate how much people will pay you for basic computer assistance.

Literally unplugging a PC and plugging it back in can likely earn you $100.

Just pretend it's difficult and people will pay you, that's how the economy works.

Buenos días a todos, necesito ayuda sobre un problema que nos aparece en nuestra CNC, sale un error en el que pone "Error de seguimiento en la articulación ... ", aparece este mensaje en ingles y después de esto se apaga la maquina desde el programa. Que debo hacer??
Tiene solución???

If one supply is the only option, you can at least try to make the wires connect far from each other (never daisy-chain).

But 2 supplies is better; 100%.

I guess that this means that you need to re-wire the bldc.0.init HAL pin to something other than machine.is-on ?

Possibly to joint.2.homed

This sounds like a question for the ProbeBasic forum section.

Most of the stuff is in Github: github.com/andypugh/LatheMacros
The images are all in the .svg file as different layers.
The fusion 360 models that the SVG files came from might have moved with a change in how Autodesk store data.
The various models are here:
a360.co/43OnIFj
I made the SVG layers by creating a shaded isometric drawing of each component then exporting the drawing to SVG.

vmt. Can confirm that your fixed firmware works for me and that I can compile functional f/w by making the file substitution back to wordpr.vhd.
Cheers.

I need help with this imagen, i use ubuntu 10.04, and i have 2 erros 

yes, the advantage over shiftreg is that the evaluation of e.g. encoders is already carried out on the external fpga and only the finished values are transferred

... oder über die Konfiguratoren pncconf oder mesact (github.com/jethornton/mesact) mal das Grundgerüst erstellen lassen und dann editieren.
