Bart, Emcrsh is particularly suited for instances where you want to interface with LinuxCNC from non-Linux platforms or at least where you do not want to install other parts of LinuxCNC. It is a good option if you are prepared to write an interface from scratch. If your interface is to run on Linux, then it may be significantly less effort to simply modify one of the existing interfaces.
Regards, Eric Hi, I'm quite new to emc but not tot cnc in general. For a new machine we build I'd like to write my own frontend to control the machine. Is emcrsh the recommended way to do this? I see a lot of nice commands over telnet which could surely help me out. Or.... is there another preferred way for programmers to access emc2 ? How does axis interface for example? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
