I was looking to have a LinuxCNC-like system with the Arduino doing Mesa/Pico-like work and LinuxCNC running as normal. I was not looking to offload the whole motion planner to the Arduino. So, in that architecture, you do need a realtime link between LinuxCNC and the hard-realtime system. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
