Thanks for the input guys. I have been able to get quite a bit of the interface working, (display alarm/state, query status of all components, get firmware revisions, set source, set process, and fire torch), but there is still a healthy chunk more to test and work out.  Unfortunately, the XPR I have been connected to has to ship out in a few days and I just came down with the flu.  I have written a python script / hal component to upload and download sdos with a back door local network socket connection to do large multi-index updates and to set things from the gui.  It seems to be working adequately, but still needs a few tweaks and more testing to make sure it is robust.

TRUE HOLE

Hypertherm has a list of features a cnc has to be capable of in order to claim it can support 'True Hole'.  The biggest hurdle is that given an ending feedrate for an arc segment around a hole, it has to be able to ramp up velocity, (the feedrate), linearly from the beginning of the arc segment to the end of the arc segment.  I don't think we have that ability with linuxcnc.

Windows.... has been a train wreck for anyone who remotely values their privacy and/or security.
 

Hence the last version of Windows I used was Vista. Linux all the way for me.

Vielleicht hängt das mit diesem veränderten Verhalten zusammen:

 I am not surprised by their statement just disappointed. Windows 11 has been a train wreck for anyone
who remotely values their privacy and/or security. Then you have Autodesk that has been following the
same mindset. They store all your file's on there servers. You may work off line for short periods of time
but you still will have to log in after a period of time. Like many big companies you can no longer buy
their programs, you can only lease them.

  Again this isn't a surprise. I like many others are learning or already using FreeCAD or similar on the daily
I doubt what I do will really hurt Autodesk's bottom line. That said . I am curious what the shift will truly be.
I am sure many are sick and tired of the "You will own nothing and be happy" corporate mind set.

  I am going FreeCAD. How about everyone else what are you using or switching over too?
