I run have been running multiple CNC machines in my workshop for a few years. In the past I had multiple computers, one per machine, for control. Currently I use a variety of control software, one for each machine, since only one instance of each program can be run at a time. Is it possible to run multiple instances of OB Control? Currently running the control software on a laptop running Windows 10. Attempting to control 3 CNC Machines, 2 routers and a laser etcher.
Negative, CONTROL only runs as a single instance. Most PCs cannot stream multiple jobs at the same time without causing serial buffering issues, so we rather not go down that rabbit hole Try a different Grbl host if you want to play with that, but know that it can be more problematic than anything
