Hello all! First time mailing back to the list.
Wanted to ask the list / Jeff Epler a couple specific questions related to his work on the ARM platform (Odroid U3) + Mesa 7i90 (SPI). In looking through the available daughter cards from Mesa, there's nothing quite as nice as the 7i76, 7i77, or 7i78 (DB25) boards available with the HD50 interface (kind used by 7i90). Notably, I don't see any card in the HD50 family that has built in stepgen. What card(s) can you recommend to use with the 7i90 for general 3-axis+ CNC control. As well, in reading the detailed version of Jeff's blog post regarding the Odroid U3 (http://emergent.unpythonic.net/odroid-u3), he mentions that because the ethernet connection on the board is connected via USB[2.0] it is no good for use with hostmot2_eth. I've got a new XU4, which is basically the U3, with a beefier octa-core processor (still Samsung Exynos) and USB3.0 ports. The ethernet is hooked in via USB3.0 and is gigabit on this board. Would it be possible to use a hostmot2_eth board (like the 7i76E) with a USB3.0 to gigabit ethernet connection? Thank you, -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
