If you never need to re-start a job after the machine has shut down then I think that it could be made to work. The development branch of LinuxCNC has support for absolute encoders for homing. What interface hardware are you using? There is a bit-banged SPI HAL component for temperature that could be easily made to work with these sensors. https://github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master/src/hal/components/max31855.comp -- 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
