Just built an open source CNC machiene?.
Hello,
I will now start on the fun adventure of customizing and hacking it. I'll be making a custom dust extraction system for it, as well as building a Raspberry PI2 server to control/interface with it...
I will also be redoing all the wiring, which is currently in a bit of a sorry state.
For the control software I've been looking into ChiliPeppr, which is an open source web-based CNC framework. It's modular, which means I can modify existing modules or develop my own.
Anyone here work with CNC routers?
thanks

I played around with the ChiliPeppr software a while back, and really liked it. I do web development so it was nice to have so much power available to customize things. I got it running on a Raspberry Pi as well. Hope to revisit that some day!
The CNC I have in my home shop is an X-Carve, but I don't have it running right now. I got an upgraded controller/power supply for it but never finished installing it.
I hope you can share some progress here as you work on your CNC. Maybe that will motivate me to get up and running again!
