[Emc-users] Hexapod questions

Hi all, What is the maturity of the Hexapod configuration under EMC2? I have never done anything with hexapods, but I was asked about the feasibility of using EMC2 for implementing a control system for a hexapod. I have not seen the actual unit, but what I have been told is that it is from a

Re: [Emc-users] Hexapod questions

John, I'm sure it would not be a turnkey install but clever enough people could certainly get it working. Things like homing will be the fun parts. Basic hexapod kinematics are in there, and were used back in the NIST days. They'd need some porting effort to interface with the

[Emc-users] Obsolete header file

I'm an EMC newbie, and tried to compile my first emc-2.1.14 under the 2.6.20.3 kernel. The compile fails with numerous errors in proc_fs.h. I duly reported the bug to Gentoo, and was told: /usr/include/linux/proc_fs.h is no longer installed with =linux-headers-2.6.19 It therefore seems that
