Hi guys, Floating point is moot, if you use fixed point in machine coordinates and add a 2^x bits to that, and you can do a lot of things on simple hardware :-D
Linuxcnc flaunts a lot of hardware, but I think a microcontroller can beat it any day, I did 14.7 ns jitter on one once :-D ... go figure that out will ya, ( interrupt jitter, scheduled timer ) .... all that said I work on linuxcnc and rt-preempt ..... So if both sides in this debate state what they would like out of this perhaps some progress can be made instead of pissing contest ? I think linuxcnc could do wonders for 3d printing, and I think the 3d printing folks can teach us a bit about hardware and software, and I think the linuxcnc folks knows a bit about motion controll they can share :-D / Lars Segerlund ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
