Yes, that is the case that it _should_. But seems that nobody knows for sure. I remember, that there were some particularly to rcslib related things removed. Fort example, if I remember correctly, up to EMC2 2.2.x there was emc.nml file in the config directory and this file had something to do with rcslib. Starting with 2.3.0 there was something removed in the code and emc.nml is no more necessary. So let me rephrase my question: Can anyone suggest me, which was last EMC2 version, certainly known to work with rcslib? > NIST (still) provides the RCS Library which is a collection of code > fragments and tools that can be useful in constructing a real-time > control system of any complexity but someone (presumably you) still has > to design and construct the system of interest. That is why I am looking for a programmer. BTW Maybe someone from the list members is willing to volunteer? I do intend to pay for the efforts. > Can you share with us what you have in mind? I have a potential client that is building large machines and I would like to take over the part of controlling their machines. It is serious money involved and their existing control guys will do whatever it takes to convince everybody that my solution (read: LinuxCNC) is worthless, so I need a working example as a proof of concept. And only then _maybe_ I will be able to convince them and get at least a pilot project with them. I do not have problem of getting 2 or 3 small machines to be controlled by LinuxCNC. What I need is to synchronize them, so that they work all together. -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
