Starting on Feb. 11th all CENTROID MPU11 based CNC control systems will be using Windows 7 as the operating system, the Linux OS will no longer be offered or supported for MPU11 based systems.

Many of the good reasons for using Linux as a CNC control operating system have now been eliminated by Windows 7 and modern faster/better PC hardware.  It has now also reached the the point in which Windows 7 offers advantages over the Linux as a CNC control OS. The menu structure and the look and feel of the CENTROID CNC software remains the same.

All previously shipped MPU11 system are upgradeable to the new Windows 7 version.  Please call 928-526-9032 or email  dwayne@elrodmachine.com for instructions on how to do so.

Some of the advantages of the Windows 7 OS are as follows:
