You said no but write as yes. To put the motion planner on separate computer is what I am looking at. The there would be no real time demand on ordinary computer. I suspect these cheap development boards could do the trick. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
