Hello fellow Haasers
I’m fairly new to posting here, but a long time lurker. I just got a 93 Haas VF2 I’m planning to retrofit with Linuxcnc. I just tinker with this trade, so I don’t make any money with my machine(yet). I see quite a few people posting on control issues or seem sick of Haas holding them hostage for software.
I am a Linux guy by trade, so I’m not at all worried about getting the software part running well. I’m more curious to hear opinions from the group if it would be valuable to anyone to see this retrofit done. The plan is to have it well documented and freely available to anyone. Centroid seems like a good path if you make money with your machine and just want something push button. For those of us out there without deep pockets I was thinking this could be useful.
Thoughts?
