My Grizzly G0619 mill

I tried that once.

Found I got more out of it by reading the parts I was trying to sort out at the time. Then putting what I learnt into practise.
I found the Hal part really good, especially working through some of the examples.
I admit I find the online HTML manual easier to navigate.
That’s not to say I have a small pile of printed pages of the PDFs with notes scribbled on them. Just don’t ask me to find them real quick.

Also review how some of the simplest components are written (eg and2.comp) and play around compiling a couple

Thanks rodw I will give it a shot. I will also try BeagleBrains idea. Good thing I don't have to have the new system operational tomorrow.

Anybody know why BeagleBrainz is coming up " user is blocked " ?

He retired from the forum over the new code of conduct.

Thanks for clarifying rodw.

well tommylight after thinking about your statement I have to fully agree with you . Yes building the
machines no mater what they are is more enjoyable, though the challenge can be daunting at times.
Because I now find myself thinking about what next to run on linuxcnc as if a Mill, a Lathe, and a Pick and Place
weren't enough. LOL

 Well this was unexpected. The laptop currently running the Mach3 on the mill decided it had enough.
Now I have to scramble to get the G0619 switched over to Linuxcnc. Fortunately I already have most of the
parts to do it . I have a Dell Optiplex 9020m for the computer. A new 7i76e board ready to go.
A  new larger controller box 24" x  20" x 8" ready for holes. I have an adapter board to control the spindle .
I can salvage most of the parts from the current control box .  However I need to get some power supplies.
It's always something.

LOL. I don't blame the laptop for giving up either. It's just the timing was a little
inconvenient.

PSST . it seems the processor cooling fan failed. I just needed an excuse .
