I thought Will was still at NIST. He is currently
listed as staff there.

Anders,

Will Shackleford went on to work for MDSI. He was there circa 2005 when I
visited for training, but at that point I had not realized who he was.
OpenCNC was the product that indirectly introduced me to EMC and the reason
I ported the VTI driver from EMC to EMC2, as that was the board we were
using with OpenCNC. I started out using OpenCNC while playing with EMC as a
side project. Needless to say, in the end we went with EMC and dropped both
OpenCNC and the VTI board in the process.

There really is not much commonality that I could see between the two
products. I still have a copy (original CDs) of OpenCNC V6.5.

Regards,
Eric


While browsing the interwebs I came across this new paper "Performance
analysis of cross-coupled controllers for CNC machines based upon
precise real-time contour error measurement"
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890695511001659
or
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmachtools.2011.08.015

It uses MDSI:s OpenCNC controller. Does anyone know if there is any
common history of the EMC-project and MDSI's "open architecture"
OpenCNC ?

Drop me an email if you are interested in the PDF but are not sitting
on a campus with access :)
