Livestream Discussing LinuxCNC and MTConnect 27 July 2026 11:00am GMT+10

Just putting this out there as advance notice. 27 July 11:00am Brisbane, Australia time GMT+10:00

I was approached by Freecad Developer Brad Collette to discuss work he's done to bring MTconnect and LinuxCNC. He and I are going to do a Podcast style discussion on this topic.

I've never done anything like this and if nothing else it should be worth a laugh seeing if I can put it together with me in Australia and Brad in the USA!

MTconnect is a standards based system used by all of the major CNC machine manufacturers that publishes read only machine parameters. I was blown away how MTconnect saved an automotive factory from incurring downtime costing $1.8m just because the data showed a motor on a CNC machine was failing..... So I for one is keen to hear what Brad has to say...
