Brief background: EPICS is a basically a client-server framework for cross-platform distributed controls. The server-side provides variables that clients can read/write too. The variables can store data or act as triggers. Currently, I'm testing/learning linuxcnc with a 3-axis mill for proof of principle. But our goal is to build a hexapod that's fully integrated with our EPICS controls, that's where I come in. One of my colleagues posted a design sim here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nSfLRaEPEE&list=UU7zkQp-M-_i3c498p9MGWmA&index=1 In the end, the most used controls would likely be jog, jog speed, and homing. Most of the configuration would be considered experts only and setup ahead of time. Wesley ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
