Walter, I have not been following this thread, so I may be talking out of school, but don't you just need to have linuxcncrsh run on the BBB running linuxcnc? That simply requires 'loadusr linuxcnc" in the hal file or DISPLAY=linuxcncrsh in the ini file. It then starts with linuxcnc and does not need to be separately started. It is just a simple socket connection which can be tested with telnet for example: telnet <machine name> 5007
On the other BBB use your favorite language or script to open an ordinary socket connection to the appropriate machine and port. Or is there something more I am missing here? Regards, Eric Thanks for the feedback. I am facing another challenge... how do I start linuxcncrsh remotely? I can write up a script to login to the remote machine (over ssh, let's say), but linuxcncrsh requires a telnet connection and the BBB doesn't have that available (I think). I also get an error when trying to start linuxcncrsh on the BBB no matter what config I use. emc/usr_intf/emcrsh.cc 2838: can't connect to emc I have poked around lots and still cannot find any real answer to this. Someone out there must have figured this out... help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
