Steve, Yes, you are correct there, but even the loopback socket seems to have some non-trivial overhead, like on the order of 1ms. For a parser to parse a single line of text (less than one packet size), as we are discussing here, even 1ms is an eternity on most processors usable by EMC2.
I also see that Sheetcam is available for both Windows and Linux. I don't know if Les was planning on supporting this interface for both versions, but ISTM it would make a convenient gateway for the Doze version, which would require communicating over a network. Regards, Eric Err - there's no particular need to actuall y transfer packets over ethernet, is there? Wouldn't a local socket work just as well? (or did I miss that this is supposed to be a remote user interface? :) ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
