Channels
There are various ways to stay up to date, or get in toutch if you use, or are planning to use Machinekit (both HAL and CNC). These channels are listed below
Machinekit Google group
Users and developers discuss Machinekit in the Machinekit Google group. The group can be accessed via the web or subscribed to as an email list:
-
View the group in a web-based forum-like format at http://groups.google.com/group/machinekit
-
Subscribe in list format by sending an email to machinekit+subscribe@googlegroups.com. (Be sure to reply to Google’s join request confirmation email.)
Both means are equivalent, and give access to the same postings.
Machinekit Matrix room
Machinekit-related topics including HAL and CNC repositories, build and related programming technologies and procedures can be discussed in Matrix Machinekit Room which can be accessed from web browser by RIOT App or by installing RiotX from Google Play Store or from F-Droid. On Apple iOS planform you can install the Riot.im application.
