Sadly MACH related not EMC2... Well that lets me know that I can expect to not need any fancy optics. I didn't see anything in the thread saying that Mach did anything other than show a video window. I suppose I could put AXIS and a separate video window up, but the bees knees would be for EMC2 to use the camera output as a probe input. For my application, it also depends on me coming up with a way to accurately rotate the gear without having a formal rotary table. I do have one, but it would be nice to come up with a way to make precise worm gear sets so that one could make a table without first having one. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
