The controller is what translates your G-Code to the machine for it to understand. It controls all the operations for where the machine goes, hence the name controller.
G-coding is merely cartesian coordinates, with special function codes [prepatory functionasl (g-codes) and miscellaneous functions (m-codes)]. Linux may be Sherline's form of a controller. Im curious as to what software the use to handle, i.e. controller software, if its a basic editor or advanced editor.
