I'd like to have a small LCD and some pushbuttons specifically designed for controlling the machine (using a QWERTY keyboard to control a CNC machine seems like the wrong way to do things). A graphical display on another machine would be nice as well-- I've seen notes about sending stuff over ethernet, but it's not clear to me if the current version supports this or not. >I have made a parallel port emulator, and plan to >work on the general parallel port driver for EMC2 as well as the specific >PP drivers for my boards. I know you're adapting an existing product, but I'd rather see an I/O board made specifically for the Beagleboard. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
