[Emc-users] Technical vision

I would prefer running the vision software (opencv) and LinuxCNC on the same pc. So do I understand correctly that my best option is userspace component that reads the coordinates from vision software and export them as HAL pins and then access those pins from g-code? Can I use reverse sequence

With patents all that matters is the claims. Usually there is only one real claim and the rest of the claims are derivative of the first claim. In this case it looks like claim number one is very specific to a device that utilizes 3 design elements together. My guess is that the ball return path
