Can I run Linux?

Post by Archangel »

Quick question, I ran a search for Linux but found nothing helpful.

Can I run Linux and interface with my SD110?

I'm guessing no, but there's always hoping.

Been a linux fan for the last 25 years, both at work and at home. Sadly, Vectric software works only on Windows. You might consider VMWare and add Windows as a virtual machine. The solution is similar for Mac users.

sadly, the USB interface won't be "real-time enough" for the CNC controlling software to work properly. Vectric probably will work just fine, however. ;)
