It beings back memories, I was learning CNC machining mainly on Fanuc machines. They were old, reliable, but ultimately quiete crude machines. When for the first time I was working on a modern Sinumeric milling machine, I was amazed how user-friendly it was. Instead of writing g-code by hand, user could just use a menu to choose operation to perform, like machining an island or a pocket. You could say that Fanuc felt like C, and Sinumeric like Python. Well, not 1:1, but close enough for analogy.
The article though, it's an interesting read, but I hoped for more technical details. It ends abruptly too, so I hope for a continuation.
- pseudohadamard 3mo agoSame here. "Old piece of junk"? They were all we had! (Kids these days...).
- 3nt3 3mo agoIt’s all we have nowadays too! Who can expect a 20 year old to have enough money to get anything better haha
- 3nt3 3mo agoSorry for the weird ending, people pressured me into writing down exactly what I did to get it to receive data and I haven’t had the time to continue it haha Didn’t expect it to land on HN too
