But then if you dig into the source code for LinuxCNC, you quickly realize what what a clusterfuck it really is. Just about every variable is declared as volatile in the misguided notion that it will be atomic and shareable with all other processes within the application... Oh, and best not look at all the bits that run with root permissions or the lack of security.

GRBL demonstrates that CNC does not need to be complex, nor does it need a high powered multicore processor to run.
