New program? Machinekit IS LinuxCNC, at least as far as the
g-code end of things is.
HAL is the same, Linux is the same. There are significant
differences in rtapi, but few venture into there.
I use it here to run a CRAMPS board test fixture, and
everything I've learned about LinuxCNC is correct.
It does allow you to run software generated stepper systems
a lot better than on the x86, with the PRU feature provided
by Charles Steinkuehler. There are sample configs that make
it totally painless.
I also use Machinekit as my distro of choice for embedded
computing, and have Machinekit installs in a number of
devices that have NOTHING to do with CNC, just because I
know my way around in there.
