				What is Planet CNC? was created by jmelson			
			
				A guy from Norway asked me about a CNC retrofit.  He wants to use planet CNC - I had never heard of it, but it LOOKS like it might be using parts of LinuxCNC, possibly.  Anyone know?  It seems to be multi-platform, but the web page is REALLY thin on details.
Thanks,
Jon

				Seems fishy.
Lots of graphics, not a lot of actual info.

				There is plenty of info there, and i do not think they use/work with LinuxCNC as the controllers use USB

				Thanks, I did not find that page!  Gives me a better idea what they are doing.  Seems to be step/dir centric control.

				Better info here
cnc.zone/hardware/controllers/contr-mk3
and here
cnc.zone/tng/tng
There is a demo download, ask the guy from Norway to download and test.
If he is hooked on it he should try it.
