Whew. That subject line is a mouthful of meta but you made it here anyway. As you know, CAMotics is Open-Source and supported by donations. Unfortunately, these donations, although much appreciated, don't amount to much. As a solution to this, I created a startup with my Uncle called
Buildbotics. Over the last two years we have developed a
really awesome Open-Source CNC controller. We will be selling the Buildbotics controller via Kickstarter beginning Sept. 1st. Controller sales will support both CAMotics,
TPL and further development of the controller itself.
Our biggest challenge now is getting the word out. Please consider helping us announce our Kickstarter by supporting us on Thunderclap. When you do, a brief, automated, one time message will be sent out to your followers on Sept. 1st directing them to checkout our Kickstarter campaign.
Steps to support CAMotics/Buildbotics:
1) Click
https://www.thunderclap.it/projects/60431-open-source-cnc-controller 2) Click on the ``Facebook``, ``Twitter`` or ``Tumblr`` button.
3) Click ``Add My Support``.
4) Login to the social media platform.
5) Authorize us to send a one time message on Sept. 1st.
Thanks for all your support. We want to take CAMotics to the next level by expanding it's CAM capabilities, improving simulations and better supporting machines like LASERs and 3D printers. Help us make this happen.
Regards,
Joseph
P.S. A fix for the OpenGL problems on Windows with v1.1.0 is forthcoming.
