Scananything for linux/CommandCNC?

Post by motoguy »

I'm currently running CandCNC Bladerunner Ethercut DTHCIV system. I'm interested in moving to the linux/CommandCNC system. I'm curious if there is a version of Scananything that works with the CandCNC offering. If not, is there an ETA for such a critter?

I currently use Scananything on my Mach based setup, and would hate to lose that functionality.

Thanks!

This is in progress. I am hoping to have something ready in early January.

Thanks Les. The Scananything port is the last of my mental roadblocks keeping me from upgrading. I'll make plans to upgrade the system in the first couple weeks of January, then.

Scananything saved my butt on this job. Curious how the Linux port is coming.

I have sent out a beta to some testers. If all goes well I'll make it available on the website. What version of Linux and LinuxCNC are you using?

Awesome. I'm actually running Mach/Windows right now. I've been holding off on the upgrade until Scananything was available for Linux / CommandCNC.

However, per https://www.candcnc.com/supportforum/vi ... 9875#p9875, the upgrade from Windows to Linux just got more expensive. Went from $450 to $550, and will be the full $1150 after 90 days.

So, I'm going to go ahead an upgrade without Scananything...but it would be nice to know how soon I can use it again.

Well, it's arrived...first job for which I could -really- use Scananything on Linux. Any updates?

The first potential reelase version has been sent out today. I still have a few connection issues to sort out but after that I should be able to make a release. What version of LinuxCNC are you running? The version is shown in the splash screen when CommandCNC starts up.
