I bet it can have more than needed ! First there's this great list: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Lncnc_3_Idea_Whiteboard (this page deserves more love BTW). > To mind come: > ... > * Connect LinuxCNC with CAN-FD interface of Duet3 extension board that > already has 32V/6A stepper drivers (this is what I planned to address > over the summer but it does not need to be me) > I'd extend this point to all field buses and data protocols that would make v3.0 "Industry 4.0" ready like MQTT, OPC UA, a node for Node-RED... > * bringing po4a (weblate) to HAL (just a thought, no idea if that is > desirable) > * bringing po4a (weblate) to graphics > Generalization of po4a support would surely be nice > ... > * improve integration with CAM within FreeCAD (I am just making this > up, cannot mentor this) > How do you see this ? What form would this integration could take past post-processor support ? Some kind of FC workbench as a new LCNC UI ? Machining simulation ala OpenSCAM/CAMotics ? > * backport something from Machine-Kit > I'd surely put that on top of the list: bringing the good stuff from MK back here, like HAL/EMC-apps split. Further, like proposed here https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit-cnc/issues/47, split UIs in separate packages. Backport machinetalk, ... MK also had a list of ideas for GSoC 2018 here https://github.com/machinekit/machinekit/projects/1 with nice HAL ideas. All in all, wouldn't it be nice to see LCNC and MK apply together to GSoC ? :) > * ...? > Build and document reference system(s) (stepper and/or servo) based on Raspberry Pi ? Or maybe make LinuxCNC run on Mesa's 7C80/7C81 boards, or PiXtend (https://www.pixtend.de/), or RevolutionPi ( https://revolutionpi.com/) ? There was discussion this week about ClassicLadder being outdated and lagging further and further behind upstream, resyncing with upstream would be nice. On PLC front, wouldn't it be nice to have components for alternative options like OpenPLC ? Finally, I think @turboss had started giving a try at a node based HAL config UI... Wouldn't that be nice ? Did I forget S-curve/jerk limited accelerations ( https://forum.linuxcnc.org/38-general-linuxcnc-questions/33459-linuxcnc-s-curve-accelerations) ;-P Well, enough for 20 years of GSoC 😅 TY Jérémie _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
