If the hardware is there and assuming the Rutex 'protocol' is trivial, SPI should be much simpler than Ethernet, as it has short and known latencies and is likely point to point. Assuming SPI hardware on the PC, Output only SPI should not be much more than writing the (properly formated) data to a port. > Kirk Wallace (California, USA > http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ > Hardinge HNC lathe > Bridgeport mill conversion pending > Zubal lathe conversion pending) > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
