This is a collection of the stuff I have related to LinuxCNC.

This is an almost never seen on the web, tutorials without any ads...
I hate tutorials written or stolen solely for profit!

== Examples

=== Classicladder Turret and Tool Change

This example shows you how a turret would work with Classicladder. The Pyvcp
screen provides the inputs and show the current status of tool change.

=== GladeVCP + HAL

This example shows you how to run a GladeVCP panel with HAL for a simple GUI
that can use all the power of HAL without the complexity of LinuxCNC's motion
control. You can have things like encoders, pwmgen, stepgen etc.

=== Sheet Alignment

This addition to LinuxCNC allows you to align the coordinate system
to the sheet of material.

* Four Pyvcp buttons are added to your panel.
* Start Align, Align Y, Align X, and Clear Offset.

To align along the Y axis jog to the left rear corner of the material.

. Press Start Align.
. Jog to the left front corner and press Align Y.
. Cut your parts then press Clear Offset.
