Description

"EMC2 is a software system for computer control of machine tools such as milling machines, cutting machines, robots, hexapods, etc. EMC2 is Free software released under the terms of the GNU GPL (General Public License).

EMC2 is a descendent of the original EMC software, which is in the Public Domain. EMC2 has many exciting new features and brings a lot of new functionality (a flexible and powerful Hardware Abstraction Layer that allows you to adapt it to many kinds of machinery, a software PLC controller, easier-than-ever installation, a new trajectory planner, and more.)

EMC2 is precompiled with Ubuntu LTS (long term support) versions for ease of installation and longevity."
