Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Where to find documentation to develop scripts?
« on: June 01, 2018, 04:11:53 AM »
Hi,
your comment has been made before by many, and by myself as well.
While Mach4's documentation lags considerably NFS has not been idle. Examples are the Probing Module, the PMC module, and most recently the Zero Brane editor.
If NFS were to devote the time and energy to documenting what they have all three of these advances would not have happened.
This is my interpretation of the observation 'NFS is very much committed to developing Mach as completely and quickly as possible at the expense of documenting
it all because it needs all these features to be considered a genuine CNC software solution for OEM builders'.
The potential for frustration re lack of documentation is high but I sure do love all the new 'goodies', so much so that I prefer the 'goodies' to boring old 'docs' anyway.
