Text below shamelessly borrowed from LinuxCNC:
THE AUTHORS OF THIS SOFTWARE ACCEPT ABSOLUTELY NO LIABILITY FOR ANY HARM OR LOSS RESULTING FROM ITS USE.
IT IS EXTREMELY UNWISE TO RELY ON SOFTWARE ALONE FOR SAFETY.
Any machinery capable of harming persons must have provisions for completely removing power from all motors, etc, before persons enter any danger area.
All machinery must be designed to comply with local and national safety codes, and the authors of this software can not, and do not, take any responsibility for such compliance.
You need a recent version of LinuxCNC installed on your system, currently the component is being developed using LinuxCNC v2.7.14.
The component relies on the halcompile tool for building and installing.
Source the rip-environment script that is provided by LinuxCNC, the Makefile provided by this component should be used within that sourced environment.
Simply running make will compile the component and the simulation. To run the simulation use make run which will compile, install and launch the simulated and the "real" components along with the simulation UI.
