General Mach Discussion / Re: Re: Prices for one-on-one phone tech support.

I pay a "per-year" amount for help on a particular cad/cam program. I'm not in to heavy use yet, but I need that program and need it to work. I would be disappointed if I couldn't get help for a cnc problem because I didn't have the money yet to rate good help. I am buying a new cad/cam machine and system soon. I had hoped to use Mach as my operating system on all of my machines, but I'm wondering if I won't get a better deal with one of my non Mach machines/systems now. You are concerning me a bit. I may pay hundreds or thousands more on Mach if I have a problem. Greg Smith

Tangent Corner / cnc and robotics

« on: October 15, 2006, 02:14:29 PM »

I'm a tech ed teacher and have been asked to do some work in robotics in a club after school. As I looked at it (no experience, you just get drafted) I saw allot of similarities to cnc. Has anyone done any work with robotics? How is programming done? Do they use G codes? Can Mach 3 control such a machine? Thanks, Greg Smith

thanks. Please continue with this. My main problem is putting it all together when I only get bits and pieces through other sources. Like the boxing cat, too. GS
