Hi, Has anyone looked at the SoftDMC for the m5i20 as an easy way to experiment with an embedded motion controller? My casual reading of the manual convinces me that it might do the job. It does lack arc moves so one would have to pt to pt them.
The hope here is that this might spur development of an emc port of the real-time to FPGA with greater speed and hopefully independence from rtai or other rt adaptations. If indeed this is possible then we could run with a non-patched Ubuntu which might ease installation woes. Not that installation is a major issue. The speed of an FPGA implementation might allow us to add features that are not now practical. My guess is that FPGA's are only going to get faster, larger and cheaper all of which drive implementation of new features. Just had to rattle the cage. ;-) Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
