Very Cool and Thank you for posting
Looking at repro now

I was unaware of this, so thank you for sharing.  This is is very cool of them!

This is great!!  I wonder if they will release the code, used to generate the lathe ATC hex files?

Iron-Man, I am not sure about the source code I don't expect they would unless required by the Linux CNC license. I know they released the firmware for the Lathe Control Board and the Schematics along with the Schematics for the Lathe Turret Board.

I would agree with Contract_Pilot on this.
I see no indication the schematics are open sourced/hardware. they carry no disclaimer of license and state they are for repair purposes and so the firmware being supplied in OCO (object code only) would tend to indicate no intent to share source. But this is only my opinion and would be happy to be proven wrong.

I do hope they will release PP publicly on github though.
