Hi there guys.

Im getting ready for the arrival of my altmill.

Thinking on ising a microsoft surface to control the cnc along with gsender.

For those that have used/still use a microsoft surface. How does this work for your? Any recommendations? Any issue? Any windows upgrade (maybe to a IoT version)?

Mostly want to know how good or bad is using a microsoft surface with the cnc!

Thanks in advance. Hope to read some input from people that had or currently use the surface.

Thanks again!

I used a surface table without and issue, GSender don’t take much to run. I run the new gControl now on my Altmill.

Is there a specific reason why you switch to gcontrol?

I had the Surface with my Longmill and they didn’t have the gControl, now that I have the Altmill it made more sense to use the gControl for the dust control.
