I guess that appropriate application for the Android OS might be a problem. And how to connect it to a PC with LinuxCNC? USB wire, local wlan, internet? Other than that I think it would be _awesome_ to control a CNC machine with just an Android tablet, which means that [almost] any Android smartphone could be used as well. And then add ability to switch among several LinuxCNC machines so that one tablet/phone could be carried around the machine shop and used to set up any of the machines :)) -- Viesturs If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
