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

Buying guide?

Noticed that MKS' SERVO42C steppers can be PC controlled, and am looking at writing something to control them via Klipper
Despite the firmware source for them not being there, they well-documented the commands to read from and control them: https://github.com/makerbase-mks/MKS-SERVO42C/wiki/Serial-communication-description one thing I'm not sure about is how to get Klipper to send commands over a USART to USB adapter to the closed loop steppers or to display some data from the steppers in klipper screen, mainsail, or fluidd, so I could use some help there.
