Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

If I don't use Windows or Mac and only use Linux, will I run into a lot of compatibility issues?
For 2.5d, look at bCNC. https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/wiki It is a combined CAM and sender for GRBL based CNC machines. It imports .dxf files and has enough CAM functionality to be useful. The UI is a bit eccentric (A common pattern) but stick with it; bCNC was my go to CAM for years.
- What's the best Gcode sender out there?
- Alternative to Candle/grblControl that includes finding center of holes and workpieces?
-
Has anyone LinuxCNC on Orange Pi 800 experience?
Can install straight from pip which is nice. https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC

Out of sheer interest: What is your guys' job? And if you are not working already, what degree to you study? Or what else are you doing?
What about putting together the two jobs!?!? https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC this is a CNC controller for GRBL made in python. i use it with my home made cnc milling machine :)

Anyone out there using a BL touch to align their 3018 mill?
bCNC can do this; https://github.com/vlachoudis/bCNC/wiki/AutoLevel

Python GCode Client for GRBL
If you are after a Python client for GRBL, give bCNC a try. I use it on my own setup and love it.
- hey! i'm planning to get into arduino and had a couple questions (in comments)

Hey guys, do you know what to use for creating gcodes, except inkscape (the old version where the extension works is not working with my newer mac). I have build a plotter with cnc shield running on grbl. Which means i have a servo and cant use Fusion 360. i think…
Maybe bCNC could do the job? Haven’t tested it but it sounds promising

FreeCAD and undefined behavior in C++ code: meditation for developers
FreeCAD is a general-purpose parametric 3D computer-aided design (CAD) modeler. This open-source software application is based on C, C++, and Python. PVS-Studio doesn't support Python at the moment, so I will only check the C and C++ parts. Here is the link to the project code.

Which CAD software should I use?
would freecad be an option?

if any of you guys uses a 3d printer to make concrete molds, please give me the pdfs for them.
Hi! 3d printers read .stl files, generally. You can design your own files for free with FreeCAD in a relatively simple format before sending them to your slicer and printer. Out of personal experience, design a silicone component into your mold, as the hard plastic is unforgiving when de-molding. Good luck!
- is there anyway to specif that autosaves are stored in one central path?

Rocket Nosecone Modelling
Second Way: I don't use this second method as the first one already works for me. However, you can download FreeCAD, which is an OpenSourced Free to use software for many hobbyists. I personally think it's slightly trickier to get used to but it works! You can watch this video to model a nose cone in FreeCAD.
What are some alternatives?
Candle - GRBL controller application with G-Code visualizer written in Qt.
LibreCAD - LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program written in C++17. It can read DXF/DWG files and can write DXF/PDF/SVG files. It supports point/line/circle/ellipse/parabola/spline primitives. The user interface is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations.
cncjs - A web-based interface for CNC milling controller running Grbl, Marlin, Smoothieware, or TinyG.
