Compatible programs

[JDSmith]

Are there compatible controller programs other than UGS by chance? I've ran into an issue where either the machine or program glitches and my zero jumps way off the mark and continues cutting. It cost me an Amana bit today unfortunately.

The attached computer doesnt go into sleep mode and has no other programs running as I close Aspire after saving toolpaths. Ideas?

Look for posts about open builds ? and / or ugs on ras pi
