General Mach Discussion / Re: Why is there no effort for the true closed loop control on the mach3 level

A bit more than 'hobby' today. One can do serious production with it IF you know how.

I second this, in fact there are a great number of people using Mach3, in it's present form, for serious production.
Providing a CNC system is designed and built reasonably well there really is no need for closed loop operation - yes it would be nice but accurate, reliable and repeatable work can be achieved without closed loop.
